It is in the choral odes and Antigone's procession to her death that examples of imagery are found in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the term parados describes the first onstage appearance of the chorus of Theban elders. The chorus enters with a song of striking imagery. The song likens Polyneices' attack on Thebes to the flight of predatory eagles and the struggle of smoldering dragons.
In antistrophe 3 of the parados, the chorus concludes with a plea for Bacchus' help. Bacchus is a god who's liked while the war god Ares isn't. A military solution is feared and rejected, in the immediately preceding strophe 3. So the chorus asks Bacchus, 'blithe god whom we adore', to get any soldiers drunk. The drunkenness will remove the influence of Ares, the 'god whom gods abhor', from Thebes.
The Chorus are basically the citizens.

the chorus line has two acts
Both terms refer to ancient Greek drama. Strophe = the first of two movements made by a chorus during the performance of a choral ode. Antistrophe = the second of two movements made by a chorus during the performance of a choral ode.
I wonder if you mean 'antistrophe'. In ancient Greek Drama the chorus delivering an ode would move across the stage in one direction (the strophe) and then turn and move in the opposite direction (the antistrophe). But since in rhetoric an apostrophe means a diversion or digression, I suppose that the turning point when the chorus switches from strophe to antistrophe could be considered an apostrophe too.
A different chorus than what?

If you read The Oedipus Trilogy its many examples of a chorus. The first chorus is: CHORUS Sweet-voiced daughter of Zeus from thy gold-paved Pythian shrine Wafted to Thebes divine, What dost thou bring me?My soul is racked and shivers with fear. (Healer of Delos,hear!) Hast thou some pain unknown before, Or with the circling years renewest a penance of yore? Offspring of golden Hope, thou voice immortal, O tell me.
Of course, very different.
In Greek choruses and dances, the movement of the chorus while turning from the right to the left of the orchestra; hence, the strain, or part of the choral ode, sung during this movement. Also sometimes used of a stanza of modern verse. See the Note under Antistrophe.

bass, guitar, or drums alone for a couple seconds in the beginning and then verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, chorus. That's the basic structure but a lot of songs don't follow that (example: walking contradiction by green day, amazing song, it goes verse, verse, chorus, same verse as first one, chorus chorus).
The purpose of the chorus in the prologue of a play is to provide background information, set the scene, and help establish the tone or themes of the work. They often address the audience directly and can help guide viewers through the story.
