Explanation
Greek Drama is the genre from which Milton borrows the concept of a Chorus in “Samson Agonistes”. This is because Greek Drama, particularly in the works of Aeschylus and Sophocles, prominently features a Chorus that comments on the action and provides background information, a technique Milton adapts to explore the themes of his poem. The QuizMaster of AnsweringExams.Com suggests remembering this by associating the date 1667, when “Samson Agonistes” was published, with the fact that Milton drew inspiration from ancient Greek dramatic forms. Other options are incorrect because they do not have a direct influence on the use of a Chorus in the way that Greek Drama does, lacking the specific structural and thematic elements that Milton incorporates into his work. The topic of literary influences is tested in competitive exams like PPSC, FPSC, CSS, NTS, MDCAT and ECAT. Practice more at AnsweringExams.Com.
