choregus

In ancient Athens, a citizen who bore the expense of the chorus at dramatic festivals, or the musician who directed the chorus.

The most successful choregus in Athenian competitions was rewarded with an engraved tripod which he consecrated and placed on a monument. The monuments of two choregoi, Thrasyllus and Lysicrates, still exist in Athens.
