Question

CHORUS:

Now victory with her glorious name
has come, bringing joy to well-armed Thebes.
The battle's done—let's strive now to forget
with songs and dancing all night long,
with Bacchus leading us to make Thebes shake.



What imagery is used in these lines? How does it reveal the speaker's tone and affect the mood of the audience?

Answer 1

Personification is used when the author describes victory coming to Thebes. The tone is an uplifting one when the festivities to be carried are discussed.
