The Chorus leader of the Theban Elders is the person who persuades Theban King Creon to rescue Princess Antigone in the play "Antigone" by ancient Greek playwright Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Creon hears Teiresias the blind prophet trace the unhealthy environment prevailing in Thebes to the non-burial of the corpse of Polyneices. Creon contradicts and insults Teiresias until the seer suggests that the tragedy of all Thebes will extend to the royal household. But it is after Teiresias leaves that Creon finally asks what to do. It is the Chorus leader who says that Polyneices' body needs to be given a proper Theban burial and that Antigone needs to be released from her prison.
