The roles of representative, intermediary, entertainer, and commentator are what the Choragus plays in 'Antigone'. The Choragus in fact is the Leader of the Chorus of Theban elders. He thereby represents the wise men of Thebes. He likewise is the intermediary between the audience and the characters, and between the characters and the chorus. As with the rest of the chorus, he's an entertainer through the dancing and singing that takes place in the choral odes. Throughout the play he also is responsible for a running, summary commentary for the benefit of the audience and the other characters.
