Headword:
Chorikos
Adler number: chi,403
Translated headword: chorikos, choricus, chorus-leader
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning] he who leads out the chorus.
Such a one was
Agathon, who used to create dramatic songs and act them out himself; therefore they are also called "choral" [songs].[1]
Chorikos: ho tou chorou exarchôn. toioutos ên Agathôn, hos hupokritika melê epoiei kai autos hupokrinetai: dio kai chorika legei.
Note:
[1] From the
scholia to
Aristophanes,
Thesmophorizusae 101, where
Agathon (
alpha 124) appears. For
le/gei, Adler reports that ms F (= Laurentianus 55.1) has
le/getai; this should probably be preferred as it is also the reading in
mu 1445.
