Depending on what period of time you are talking about, the chorus consisted of fifty, twelve, or fifteen singers and dancers. The playwrights often used the chorus to represent the audience. They would warn the protagonist of dangers, or act as the sounding-board for the characters' thoughts. The songs and dances between the scenes could be used to show the passage of time or to comment on the preceding action. The chorus could be used in crowd scenes to show the reaction of the people.

In ancient Greek tragedy, the number of actors was limited to three, but the chorus and chorus leader could also be used.
The Greek chorus served multiple purposes in ancient Greek theater, primarily acting as a commentator on the action of the play, providing background information, and reflecting the emotions of the characters and audience. It helped to establish the mood and themes, often expressing societal values and moral lessons. Additionally, the chorus engaged in lyrical interludes, enhancing the dramatic experience and creating a sense of unity within the performance. Overall, the chorus was integral in bridging the narrative and the audience's understanding.
I can't believe someone would write that. I was in a greek play and I was chorus and the chorus were just townsfolk who told the story. The spoke in rhyme.
