Liturgy (ancient Greece)



The liturgy (Greek: λειτουργία or λῃτουργία, leitourgia, from λαός / Laos, ""the people"" and the root ἔργο / ergon, ""work"" ) was in ancient Greece a public service established by the city-state whereby its richest members (whether citizens or resident aliens), more or less voluntarily, financed the State with their personal wealth. It took its legitimacy from the idea that ""personal wealth is possessed only through delegation from the city"". The liturgical system dates back to the early days of Athenian democracy, but gradually fell into disuse by the end of the 4th century BC, eclipsed by the development of Euergetism in the Hellenistic period.
