Help! A student has just come in needing the definition of periactus. I have checked Webster's Unabridged Dictionary and World Book Unabridged Dictionary with no luck. We know that it is something Greek -- comes from Socrates, in Plato _Republic 518B-D "...together with the entire soul, like the scene-shifting periactus in the theatre..."
