A Chorus Line

The synergistic beauty of the chorus'  centrality to everyday ancient Greek life, and derivative classical lyric poetry, owes as as much to its’ male members’ ability to effect compromise from individual actors, as opposed to proper reliance on understated lockstep absorption of the audience, into the oftentimes dark underbelly of  tragic presentations. As a telltale fulcrum of dramatic conventions, indeed, the functionality of choral interruptus presages learned subjugation, throughout the captive assemblage, during which, passive poetic engagement is subsumed by artistic peccadilloes.
