Sophocles' Antigone & Philoctetes Choral Analysis: Greek Tragedy Literary Study | Mnemosyne Supplements 292 | For Classics Scholars & Theater Enthusiasts

The chorus views the action and the world of the play from the perspective of dancers and singers, while the actors' understanding is shaped by the responsibility they have to make things happen.
