This volume explores how the choruses of Greek tragedy creatively
combined media and discourses to generate their own specific forms
of meaning. The contributors analyse choruses as fictional,
religious and civic performers; as combinations of text, song and
dance; and as objects of reflection in themselves, in relation and
contrast to the choruses of comedy and melic poetry. Drawing on
earlier analyses of the social context of Greek drama, the
non-textual dimensions of tragedy, and the relations between
dramatic and melic choruses, the chapters explore the uses of
various analytic tools in allowing us better to capture the
specificity of the tragic chorus. Special attention is given to the
physicality of choral dancing, musical interactions between
choruses and actors, the trajectories of reception, and the
treatment of time and space in the odes.
