Best Answer

Choragos or Choragus is the chorus leader. The individual in question is the character who speaks on behalf of the chorus of Theban elders. So he's the representative of the chorus in terms of the other characters in the play 'Oedipus Rex'.

Specifically, Choragos represents the informational responsibility of the chorus. That responsibility involves keeping the audience current of what's happening in the play. The other responsibility of the chorus is one that all chorus members carry it. It's the entertaining responsibility of dancing and singing.
