Editor's Note:
The Hidden Chorus investigates the relationship between the chorus of Greek tragedy & other types of choral song in Greek society. Choruses performed on a range of occasions in Greek culture, ranging from private weddings & funerals to large-scale religious festivals, yet the relationship between these everyday or 'ritual' choruses & the choruses of tragedy has never been systematically examined. Swift discusses choruses from five ritual genres: paian (religious songs of celebration or healing), epinikion (songs for athletic victors), partheneia (songs for the transitions of young girls), hymenaios (wedding song) & threnos (funerary song), & explores how these choral forms are evoked in tragedy. By examining the relationship between tragic & non-tragic choral song, she not only provides new insights into individual plays, but also enriches our understanding of the role poetry & song played in Greek life.Understanding lyric genres Lyric poetry in an Athenian contextPaian Epinikion PartheneiaHymenaiosThrēnos & ritual lament
