Richard Wagner discussed Greek drama and the Greek chorus extensively in his writings, including "Art and Revolution". His longest work, "Der Ring des Nibelungen", ("The Ring of the Nibelung") is based in the style of "Oresteia" with parallels in rhythm and overall structure (both have three parts, with the exception of "Das Rheingold", the prelude to "The Ring of the Nibelung"). Wagner said of himself, "History gave me a model also for that ideal relation of the theater to the public which I had in mind. I found it in the drama of Ancient Athens". A Greek chorus is also used in the Woody Allen film "Mighty Aphrodite", in which the chorus gives advice to the neurotic main character.
