How did sacrifices work in ancient times? Was it only for the wealthy?

This depends entirely on who and when we are talking about here.

Greeks, I imagine.

If comfy BBQ basically where you'd burn some for the gods and feast on the rest and give it out to the poor. Pretty much what Islam does with their Abraham festival today.

So the poor didn't have to make offerings?

the rich used it as a masturbatory chance to wag their dicks about, likely a chance to show off their wealth and get people to hold them in higher favor.
I mena, who'd you pray for, that guy who lives alone with his riches or the guy who throws BBQ's and invites you.

There were different scales of activity. A private affair involving the family or a clan of some kind, the offerings would obviously be provided from the food they're feasting from. However, a large-scale festivity sponsored by the state and/or wealthy individuals would be footed at their expense. It was a way of establishing trust between the upper and lower elements of society.

I see, so as much a social event as it was a way to worship.
