Pompe

The Ancient Greek conceptual meaning of the word pompe,  was a movement of a procession of persons towards a defined destination, involving the conveying or escorting of a ritual symbol or an effigy of a god (or of an object or a person) between specific points of departure and arrival, such was the cult or rite of the Athenian religion. Pompe means to escort (the god).

At new year not long after his election to his post the Eponymous Archon, a job loosely equivalent to city mayor, appointed two Paredroi who set about to assist him in the organisation of the dramatic festivals which he was in charge of, including their pompes. Indeed most of the dramatic festivals of Athens began on their first day with a pompē [πομπή] or parade through the streets of the city. The festival of the City or Greater Dionysia began with a procession escorting the statue or an effigy of the god Dionysos Eleuthrios from the temple where his cult statue was housed along the road towards Eleutherae [halfway to Thebes] to a small shrine just outside the city walls and then back again to the great theatre of Dionysos, just beneath the Acropolis, where a various rites were performed concluding with the sacrifice of a bull.
