The Chorus now invokes the god whose name graces the festival and the theater in which this play is being performed. This link suggests that the play itself can be seen as participating in the discourse between the city and its gods, not as an invocation or prayer in the manner being tried by the Theban Chorus, but rather as mortal discourse infused with divine insight, which, if the mortal audience has the perspicacity to hear and the wisdom to heed, may direct the city to salubrious action.
