1. greek chorus

   A Greek Chorus is a traditional aspect of Ancient Greek theatre, consisting of a group of performers who comment on the main action, often providing a broader perspective or expressing to the audience what the main characters cannot say. They typically speak in a collective voice and help to guide the audience's understanding of the play's plot and themes. Their dialogues typically come in the form of song, called "choral odes". The chorus can also interact with the main characters, creating a bridge between the audience and the actors.

1. Greek chorus

   A Greek chorus is a homogeneous, non-individualised group of performers in the plays of classical Greece, who comment with a collective voice on the dramatic action. It originally consisted of fifty members which were later reduced to twelve by Sophocles, then increased to fifteen members by Euripides in tragedies. There were twenty-four members in comedies, and it performs using several techniques, including singing, dancing, narrating, and acting. In Aeschylus' Agamemnon, the chorus comprises the elderly men of Argos, whereas in Euripides' The Bacchae, they are a group of eastern bacchants, and in Sophocles' Electra, the chorus is made up of the women of Argos.
