Why did the Greeks of the archaic and early Classical period join
in choruses that sang and danced on public and private occasions?
This book offers a wide-ranging exploration of representations of
chorality in the poetry, art and material remains of early Greece
in order to demonstrate the centrality of the activity in the
social, religious and technological practices of individuals and
communities. Moving from a consideration of choral archetypes,
among them cauldrons, columns, Gorgons, ships and halcyons, the
discussion then turns to an investigation of how participation in
choral song and dance shaped communal experience and interacted
with a variety of disparate spheres that include weaving,
cataloguing, temple architecture and inscribing. The study ends
with a treatment of the role of choral activity in generating
epiphanies and allowing viewers and participants access to realms
that typically lie beyond their perception.
