An important aspect of the Greek Tragity is the chorus. The Greek Chorus is comprised of 3 parts: the ode, the strophe, and the anti-strophe.

The Ode
or the chorus is when two or more characters sing unanimously.

The Strophe and Antistrophe
is used when conflict is amuck and there are two characters with opposing viewpoints. The Strophe and Antistrophe are generally sang from the two ends of the stage and they argue back and forth.
