The exact word in greek is "κορυφαίος" (ko-ree-fe-os)
I can't believe someone would write that. I was in a greek play and I was chorus and the chorus were just townsfolk who told the story. The spoke in rhyme.
Thespis emerged from the chorus as the first actor. Aeschylus added the second actor and decreased the chorus to twelve from fifty. Sophocles added the third actor and increased the chorus to fifteen. From that point, the number of actors and size of the chorus became frozen as the rules for the tragic competition.
the leader of the greeks at troy was agamemnon. Z
There is not a greek mythology leader; it is based on gods and goddesses.
He was a Greek, the King of Sparta and leader of the Greek forces which attacked Troy.
In ancient Greek tragedy, the number of actors was limited to three, but the chorus and chorus leader could also be used.
Interact directly with non-chorus characters is what the chorus leader can do that the other chorus members cannot do in ancient Greek theater.Specifically, the chorus is made up of respected, wise elders. Its members instruct the audience by explaining offstage and past events as well as onstage happenings. They entertain by dancing and singing across the stage. But they cannot interact directly with characters outside the chorus. Only the chorus leader can interact with both chorus and non-chorus members in the play.

Zeus is the Greek name, Jupiter is the Latin Name
The chorus leader is Koryphaios in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Koryphaios is a Greek word that translates into English as "chorus leader, leader of the chorus." It is written in Greek as "κορυφαῖος." Its origin traces back to the ancient Greek phrase "κορυφή koryphḗ́," which means "the top of the head."
The person who leads or conducts the chorus is called the conductor.

To entertain and to emphasize that the gods rule is the purpose of the exchange between the chorus and the chorus leader in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the chorus and the chorus leader alternate in a way that focuses on key concepts, heightens dramatic impact and increases audience interest. The chorus gives the details of the violent first civil war over the Theban royal succession. The chorus leader mentions how the gods feel and how fate just keeps unfurling according to divine plan.
To represent the chorus and to summarize events is the chorus leader's job in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the leader represents the chorus of Theban elders in direct interactions with Theban King Creon. The interactions show that the leader understands royal will and provides advice if need be. The leader also summarizes events and interactions throughout the play and at the very end.
