It is the chorus leader who settles the dispute between Oedipus and Creon in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban King Oedipus accuses Creon, his brother-in-law and royal colleague, of conspiring with Teiresias the blind prophet to grab all royal powers for themselves. He does not back down from his groundless charges. Queen Jocasta, Oedipus' wife and Creon's sister, makes an almost successful attempt to reconcile the two men. But the chorus leader pushes until Oedipus backs down.
