The chorus leader is Creon's supporter in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, the chorus leader is the designated spokesperson for the council of Theban elders. The elders represent Thebes' most accomplished and respected citizens. They tend not to contradict the reigning king or to oppose his policies.
