Question

Im doing summer reading and im getting a little confused whenever these come onstage or w/e

Answer 1

Chorus is the townspeople.

Choral songs were divided into stanzas: strophe (turn), antistrophe (turn the other way), and epode (added song) that were sung while the chorus moved (danced). While singing the strophe an ancient commentator tells us they moved from left to right; while singing the antistrophe they moved from right to left.
