-It contained a number of functions. They sang and dance.
 -They were called the ideal audience , reacting to the action as the poet would most desire. 
-They modulated the atmosphere and tone. Representing what might be called "typical Athenian citizens," there actions were conservative not submissive. 
-Plays were very often named for the Chorus. 
- When the action centers on more than one character , the play may be designated by the Chorus. 
-A function of the Chorus or of its leader was to question new characters coming on to stage as to their identity and purpose. 
-Since the stages had no curtains and the plays no act divisions, the Choral odes were also used to represent the passage of time -a flexible interval extending from a few minutes to several days or weeks. 
-Male actors only
