Somewhat related is the fact that "Chorus" is used in Greek for a group in general, so we do have talk of the "The chorus/group of Epicureans (ὁ χορὸς τῶν Ἐπικουρείων)" [Dionysius of Halicarnassus (fl. 20 BCE), On the Composition of Words, 24] -- another example is "the group/chorus around Chrysippus – and Epicurus afterwards (ὁ περὶ Χρύσιππον Χορὸς – καὶ Ἐπίκουρος ὕστερον) [Themistius, Paraphrases of Aristotle's Physics, 4.4 (folio 38 verso, Aldine)]

Ha-ha, I see that I mis-spelled the word festival, but it made me laugh, so I'm going to leave it. :D

With AI hiding in every corner, almost as a rule now, I'm purposefully not correcting a certain, small percentage of spelling and grammatical errors I make as a way of demonstrating that I'm not using AI.

Also, "feastival" is more of a happy accident than a mistake, because festivals are feasts!

(Had you used AI, you would never have made that happy accident, and we would be lesser for it).
