Answer:

Explanation:
In ancient Greece theatre, the chorus represented a group of actors who recited the prologue and epilogue, provided background information, commented on the main actions of the play, and performed different songs or dances.
At the beginning of the Ancient Greek theatre, the Chorus was a group of 50 men danced and sang lyric hymns which praised the god Dionysus. Eventually, the chorus was reduced to 12 – 15 performers, and took a more active role in storytelling, by representing a collective character or linking the audience with the piece itself. The chorus was often the same sex as the main character.
