# Standard modern lives record that tragic production depended on wealthy choregoi

Date: 1912

## The fact

Loeb lives and companions record a rich choregos paying chorus and display. The dated public instrument is that modern statement of a liturgy of wealth. Unfree and dependent festival labour is the silent tightness, medium confidence.

## Context

Civic theatre funded by the rich is cohesion and inequality. Stored as labour-and-rank path.

[Sophocles](/people/sophocles) is not the sole author of every later object, law, or museum label that uses the name. Shared work with courts, excavators, printers, spouses, officials, and later states does not erase a documented role, and it does not make an ancient person the signer of a twentieth-century statute.

## Evidence and sources

Official library, festival, encyclopedia, or edition pages and an independent publisher independently describe this instrument.

Official or archival record: Harvard / Loeb — Sophocles I (Ajax, Electra, Oedipus Tyrannus) (https://www.hup.harvard.edu/books/9780674995574; [Harvard University](/organizations/harvard-university) Press).

## Significance

A liturgy is not a 1981 ticket office.

## What is established and what is not

Established as a dated public record of this instrument.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.
Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, and museums are not converted into extra lifetime acts. The attached driver is [labour-market-tightness](/drivers/labour-market-tightness). The welfare reading used in this dossier is worsening. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself. Confidence is stated on the impact path. A later English edition is not a recovered autograph. If a number is not in the two records named above, it is not supplied here. Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, and museums are not converted into extra lifetime acts.
