This paper analyzes these passages, paying particular attention to the lexicon and the concepts related to the Dionysian cult, in order to clarify how certain aspects are highlighted in each case and how they are related to each play. The chorus’ songs depict Dionysus’ nocturnal dance with his retinue of nymphs in the middle of a wild nature, which contrasts with the distressing situation the god is invoked in. Each invocation serves a particular purpose in its play, but, at the same time, their coincidences point to the chorus’ in-termediary role between the natural world governed by Dionysus and the theatrical context.cainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess55 Historia::5505 Ciencias auxiliares de la historia::5505.10 FilologíaartículoDionysusnymphstragic chorusbacchic choruslocus amoenus
