Choregia
(217 words)
[German version] (ἡ χορηγία;
hē chorēgía). Office of the
choregos; from
c. 500 BC a special form of
leitourgia in Athens. The
choregia was imposed on prosperous citizens by the appropriate
archon, and young notables were glad to use this kind of
leiturgia in order to win political esteem (in 472 Pericles was

choregos who is named in the inscription ( Didaskaliai). Towards the end o…

Phílikos) of Corcyra (Corfu). Poet and tragedian, priest of Dionysus at Alexandria in the reign of Ptolemy II Philadelphus (285-246 BC). Member of the Pleias, often confused with Philiscus [4] of Aegina (TrGF I 89; I 104 T1, T4). Nothing survives of the 24 tragedies attributed to him. A large section is preserved of a hymn to Demeter in stichic catalectic choriambic hexameters (SH 676-680). In it, Demeter is consoled for the loss of her daughter with the prospect of cultic honours at Eleusis and by the wit of the maiden Iambe (in direct speech). Zimmermann, Bernhar…
