A wealthy Athenian citizen chosen to finance and train the chorus for dramatic competitions in ancient Greece.
From Greek 'choragos,' combining 'choros' (chorus) and 'agein' (to lead), literally 'chorus leader' who became the financial patron.
The ancient Greeks basically invented the concept of corporate sponsorship—wealthy choragi competed to have the most impressive choruses, and the state actually required them to do it as a civic duty called 'liturgy' (not a religious service, but a public obligation).
