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. 606 $aDrama$xChorus (Greek drama) 606 $aGreek drama (Tragedy)$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aDrama$xChorus (Greek drama) 615 0$aGreek drama (Tragedy)$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a882/.0109 702 $aGagne?$b Renaud$f1976- 702 $aHopman$b Marianne Govers$f1974- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787768603321 996 $aChoral mediations in Greek tragedy$93699138 997 $aUNINA
