The chorus calls upon the god Bacchus to make soldiers drunk. The chorus wants the city of Thebes to be freed from the plague that's decreasing the harvest and the numbers of livestock and of Thebans.

Where is comic relief in 'Oedipus Rex'?
Comic relief refers to the use of a humorous incident to give temporary relief from the tension among the characters in an opera or play. It isn't a mandatory technique by playwrights. So it well may be absent from the most serious of tragedies. Thus the closest that the tragedy of 'Oedipus Rex' comes to an incident of comic relief is by way of a quick comment by the chorus in the parados. In their first appearance, the chorus calls upon the gods. In the third antistrophe, that call includes a brief reference to the wine god Bacchus, his unpopularity with the other gods, and his popularity with his stumbling, bumbling drunken followers.
What does Creon and the chorus leader finally agree upon in 'Antigone'?
It is Polyneices' burial and Antigone's release that Creon and the chorus leader finally agree upon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon denies to his nephew Polyneices the god-given rights of all Thebans to below ground burials. He gives the death sentence to his niece Antigone for burying her brother. But advised by the chorus leader, Creon finally gives in when he hears Teiresias' prediction that the mourning that goes around Thebes for disloyal and loyal Theban dead will come back around to the royal household.
