Theorodokoi


The theorodokoi (Greek: θεωροδόκοι, θεαροδόκοι) in ancient Greece were sacred envoy-receivers whose duty was to host and assist the theoroi (θεωροί, "viewers") before the Panhellenic games and festivals.

A theorodokos was sometimes appointed by the community in which he lived but sometimes by the community that sent out the theoroi.
