Telestas

Telestas or Telestes, a dancer, employed in the tragedies of Aeschylus; of whom Athenaeus (i. p. 22, a.) relates that his skill was so great, that, in the representation of the Seven against Thebes, he made the actions manifest by his mimetic dancing, no doubt as leader of the chorus. (Müller, Hist. Lit. of Greece, vol. i. p. 314.)
