The Greek chorus originated in ancient Greek theater, particularly during the 6th century BCE, as a group of performers who provided commentary, background, and emotional context to the unfolding drama. Initially, it was linked to religious rituals and festivals honoring Dionysus, the god of wine and festivity. The chorus, typically composed of a dozen or more members, would sing, dance, and recite poetry, serving as a bridge between the audience and the characters, enhancing the narrative and thematic elements of the plays. Over time, as drama evolved, the role of the chorus became more complex, influencing character development and the overall structure of theatrical performances.
