Greek religious festivals were primarily funded by wealthy individuals known as "choregoi," who were responsible for sponsoring the performances and activities associated with the festivals. These patrons often viewed their contributions as a civic duty and a means to gain prestige within their communities. Additionally, city-states sometimes allocated public funds to support larger festivals, particularly those that honored the gods, such as the Dionysia in Athens.
