I suggest that the title of the article be "greek tragic chorus", because the range of the topic of greek chorus is much larger, involves all greek poetry in different ways and is all the matter of lyric poetry from Hesiode to Callimaque. Besides, comedy involves as much as tragedy a chorus, and Aristophane the best defender of its privileges. The dyonisiac origin of the chorus is indeed a common place, but it do not resist this question "where and when Artemis do not gather her chorus?" that is 4 time quoted in greek litterature at various epochs.
