Describe the role of the Chorus (what are they saying and to whom they are talking. Reference Chorus on pages 168-170 or pages 30-31 and pages 186-187 or bottom of page 39.
The chorus says a lot about what is going on in their time. They talk about the background (also summarizing what is being said by the people) of the city of Thebes along with its suffering and unanswered issues. They comment, also, on the gods. They, for example, on pages 168-170 show the chorus talking up to Apollo for help. They pray to the gods for help in their city and for him to rid them of enemies. Almost as if they are speaking for the people of Thebes.
