The Chorus
Captions available
The idea
The chorus is a group speaking together in Greek drama, commenting on the action and often voicing the community. The glossary has no headword. On the exam a choral passage is a place where a play states its own themes, which makes it unusually quotable.
In practice
The community, speaking together.
Where people slip
Plays state their themes here.
