In Oedipus the chorus plays the role of citizens of Thebes. They addressed that problems facing them at hand. They summarized the plot of the play and made numerous references to gods. This chorus lacked an influence on the characters within the play.
In Medea, the chorus are personal friends of Medea. They are sympathetic to Medea, and express sorrow for her. They go deeper into the essence of the play and bring light to the situation. They also have some influence over Medea's actions.
