Chorus: One element of both classic Greek tragedy and Old Comedy (but not the New Comedy of Menander) is the presence of a chorus, a group of 12 or 50 male actors (sometimes dressed as women) who sing and dance as a group, and are normally led by a choragos, or chorus leader. 

Maenads: The Maenads (also known as the Bacchae) are female worshipers of the god Dionysus (or Bacchus). They form the chorus of Euripides' play The Bacchae, but do not appear in Antigone. 

Chorus of Antigone: The chorus in Sophocles' Antigone is comprised of the elders of the city of Thebes. They are not Maenads.
