Chorus in Ancient Greek Drama

Book Summary by: AcaDemon    


This paper tells what the chorus brought to Greek theater and how theater was shaped because of it. The paper discusses this
topic while examining one of the most famous Greek play, "Hippolytus," by Euripides. The chorus was a crucial part of theater during that time and was used to narrate the story, give their opinion of the plot, and keep a rhythm for the play. The chorus did this in various ways, such as through costumes, stage presence, music, and singing. The Greek chorus was a precursor to operas and musicals as we know them today, and the paper discusses this evolution of the chorus.
