Chorus Lines An ode is a lyric poem expressing the feelings or thoughts of a speaker, often celebrating a person, an event, or a thing. Antecedent action—action that happened previously. The Chorus—a group of actors who moved and sang together—acted as one character and spoke in unison during the Choral Odes, which separated the scenes of the drama. The Chorus set the mood, summarized the action, represented a point of view, sided with various characters, or warned of disaster. Strophe—chorus moves from right to left while chanting across the stage. Antistrophe—chorus moves from left to right while chanting across the stage.
