In ancient Greek tragedy, the number of actors was limited to three, but the chorus and chorus leader could also be used.
The protagonist of a Greek tragedy is typically the main character or hero who drives the action of the play. They often face a tragic flaw or circumstance that leads to their downfall, invoking feelings of pity and fear in the audience.
It is through divinely ordained fate and flawed personalities that the chorus explains tragedy in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the chorus considers as tragic the recent deaths in the Theban royal family. The chorus members define tragedy as the relentless working out of divine will and the Furies of fate. But they do not diminish the tragedy of Theban Princess Antigone's uncontrolled passions or of King Creon's foolish and stubborn arrogance.
