Reаd the fоllоwing pаssаge frоm Oedipus the King, by Sophocles (pp. 1137) and answer the questions below.   CHORUS LEADER: My lord, since you extend your oath to me,        I will say this. I am not the murderer,        nor can I tell you who the killer is.        As for what you’re seeking, it’s for Apollo,        who launched this search, to state who did it.  OEDIPUS: That is well said. But no man has power        to force the gods to speak against their will.  CHORUS LEADER: May I then suggest what seems to me        the next best course of action?  OEDIPUS: You may indeed,        and if there is a third course, too, don’t hesitate        to let me know.  CHORUS LEADER: Our lord Teiresias,        I know, can see into things, like lord Apollo.        From him, my king, a man investigating this        might well find out the details of the crime.  OEDIPUS: I’ve taken care of that—it’s not something        I could overlook. At Creon’s urging,        I have dispatched two messengers to him        and have been wondering for some time now         why he has not come.  CHORUS LEADER: Apart from that,        there are rumours—but inconclusive ones        from a long time ago.  OEDIPUS: What kind of rumours?        I’m looking into every story.  CHORUS LEADER: It was said        that Laius was killed by certain travellers.  OEDIPUS: Yes, I heard as much. But no one has seen        the one who did it.  CHORUS LEADER: Well, if the killer        has any fears, once he hears your curses on him,        he will not hold back, for they are serious.  OEDIPUS: When a man has no fear of doing the act,        he’s not afraid of words.  CHORUS LEADER: No, not in the case        where no one stands there to convict him.        But at last Teiresias is being guided here,        our god-like prophet, in whom the truth resides        more so than in all other men.    What is the purpose of the chorus and chorus leader in Greek theater?
