A Greek chorus (Greek: χορός, khoros) is a homogeneous, non-individualised group of performers in the plays of classical Greece, who comment with a collective voice on the dramatic action.
It originally consisted of fifty members which were later reduced to twelve by Sophocles, then increased to fifteen members by Euripides in tragedies. There were twenty-four members in comedies, and it performs using several techniques, including singing, dancing, narrating, and acting. In Aeschylus' Agamemnon, the chorus comprises the elderly men of Argos, whereas in Euripides' The Bacchae, they are a group of eastern bacchants, and in Sophocles' Electra, the chorus is made up of the women of Argos.
Plays of the ancient Greek theatre always included a chorus that offered a variety of background and summary information to help the audience follow the performance. The Greek chorus comments on themes, and—as August Wilhelm Schlegel proposed in the early 19th century to subsequent controversy—shows how an ideal audience might react to the drama. The chorus also represents, on stage, the general population of the particular story, in sharp contrast with many of the themes of the ancient Greek plays which tended to be about individual heroes, gods, and goddesses.

Quotes:
Chorus: Children grow up, they move out! Sometimes to ridiculous places like Cincinnati, or Boise, Idaho! Then you never see them again!::Chorus Leader: You'd think they'd at least pick up a phone!::Laius: But is there a growing void in the Weinrib marriage?::Chorus: We didn't say there was! We're all just speculating on possible motives! Children are serious stuff!Greek Chorus Leader: Don't go any further. I know what you're thinking, Lenny, and forget it!::Lenny Weinrib: I can't forget it; the thought's been put in my head.::Chorus: Oh, cursed fate; certain thoughts are better left unthunk.
Lenny Weinrib: Achilles only had an Achilles heel, I have an entire Achilles body.
Greek Chorus: Of all human weaknesses, obsession is the most dangerous, and the silliest!
[showing Lenny a novelty watch]::Linda Ash: See, as the mainspring goes back and forth, the bishop keeps fucking her in the ass. It's a genuine antique and it keeps perfect time.
Linda Ash: I feel like I owe you a great fuck.
Linda Ash: You didn't want a blowjob so the least I could do is get you a tie.
Linda Ash: And so there I am on the first day, on the set, and there's this guy fucking me from behind, right, and there's these two huge guys dressed like cops in my mouth at the same time and I remember thinking to myself, "I like acting. I wanna study."
Kevin: I've had 16 fights and I won all of them but 12.
Chorus: [referring to Oedipus] Look, here's a man who killed his father and slept with his mother.::Jocasta: [(Oedipus' mother)] I hate to tell you what they call my son in Harlem.
