Why do the Greeks use a chorus?

The Greek chorus was a group of approximately twelve actors who acted similar to modern narrators in Greek plays. They were integral to the plays and would sometimes have over half of the lines. Their job was to comment on the action in the play, either by speaking all together or by singing. They would dress similarly and wear masks. The role of the Greek chorus was to provide time for scene changes, give the main actors a break and time to prepare for the next scene, offer background information and information about the main themes, to offer an insight into a character's thoughts and feelings, and just generally act as a go-between for the audience and the actors. Incidentally, battles and murders were not allowed to be performed in Greek theatres and so the chorus would tell the audience of such events instead of them being acted out.


What term defines as a group of actors who explained the action that was taking place on the stage of an ancient Greek drama?

How did ancient Greek theater evolve from consisting of a chorus to three actors and a chorus?

Thespis emerged from the chorus as the first actor. Aeschylus added the second actor and decreased the chorus to twelve from fifty. Sophocles added the third actor and increased the chorus to fifteen. From that point, the number of actors and size of the chorus became frozen as the rules for the tragic competition.
