The chorus' lyrical ode, to which they dance as they sing, consists of two paired stanzas of strophe and antistrophe. en.wikipedia.org

The ode generally has three parts: a strophe, an antistrophe, and an epode. en.wikipedia.org

It is also known as epiphora and occasionally as antistrophe. en.wikipedia.org

The verses were structured in triadic stanzas (strophe, antistrophe, epode), typical of choral lyric. en.wikipedia.org

The strophe and antistrophe look at the subject from different, often conflicting, perspectives, with the epode moving to a higher level to either view or resolve the underlying issues. en.wikipedia.org

Odes are often intended to be recited or sung by two choruses (or individuals), with the first reciting the strophe, the second the antistrophe, and both together the epode. en.wikipedia.org

For example, the strophe, antistrophe and epode of the ode form are often separated into one or more stanzas. en.wikipedia.org
