Greek chorus : ウィキペディア英語版 | Greek chorus
A Greek chorus (, ''khoros'') is a homogeneous, non-individualised group of performers in the plays of classical Greece, who comment with a collective voice on the dramatic action.〔Pavis (1998, p. 53)〕 The chorus consisted of between 12 and 50 players, who variously danced, sang or spoke their lines in unison and sometimes wore masks. ==Etymology== Historian H. D. F. Kitto argues that the word "chorus" gives us hints about its function in the plays of ancient Greece: "The Greek verb ''choreuo'', I am a member of the chorus has the sense 'I am dancing'. The word ''ode'' means not something recited or declaimed, but 'a song'. The 'orchestra' in which a chorus had its being is literally, a dancing floor". From this, it can be inferred that the chorus danced and sang poetry.
