Description

Apparently, the word "stool" is older than the word "chair." In Modern Greece, the stool (as an object) appears before the chair. However, the people knew the word "throne," which they associated with kings and despots.

Makrygiannis used the word "throne," but in his texts, the words stool/seat/chair/armchair do not appear. Makrygiannis preferred (and wrote once) the rarer form "katheklas."

On the historic 3rd of September, the rebels crushed the throne of Otto - its pieces are in the National Historical Museum of the Old Parliament. The "sythron" is a term of ecclesiastical architecture. One of the few remaining sythrons is located in the cathedral of Kalambaka.

The word "stool" has its peculiarities. We say "I will seat you on the stool" (even though the dock of the accused is no longer a stool), or we say "the stool of the gallows" (although its previous use in Greece is questionable). In Crete, the word "stool" also indicates the table for food, while in the Ionian Islands, they use it to refer to the three-legged butcher's log.
