What I love is that they are theatre, and quite like a musical at that. The very word “chorus” is based on the form the chanters took. And in fact they were the popular works of the day, usually performed in all-day competitions. Nothing obscure to these audiences, these were offerings to the gods.
Very well said! I like to think that piety was one of the main sources of inspiration of the playwrights. It was very common to invoke the muses before they began writing
Omg! I loved this, is amazing.✨
