Choregi

/kɔˈreɪdʒaɪ/ noun

Definition

Plural of choregus; wealthy Athenian citizens who paid for and organized dramatic performances and choruses in ancient Greece.

Etymology

From Greek 'choregoi,' plural of 'choregus,' from 'choros' (choir) plus 'agein' (to lead). These were sponsors of public entertainments.

Kelly Says

In ancient Athens, being a choregus wasn't just patronage—it was a civic duty tax imposed on the wealthy, forcing rich citizens to fund public culture and entertainment for everyone, an early form of mandatory arts funding.
