Sumario:The Greek χορός, which included both song and dance, usually in ritual contexts, had a fundamental role in the shaping of the polis system since early Archaic times, going well beyond actual choral practice and to function as a cultural paradigm, ‘chorality’ which could also be metaphorically used in non-dancing contexts. As such, chorality is an articulating force operating at multiple levels (e.g. social and political organization, space and time articulation, definition of discourses of authority). In this paper, the concept and functions of chorality at the origins of the polis are established through the analysis of three epic texts (i.e. the shield of Achilles in Iliad 18, the celebrations in the Phaeacian agora in Odyssey 8 and the dances at Delos in the Homeric Hymn to Apollo) and some comparable patterns in contemporary iconography.
