Taking place during City Dionysia, pompe was the walk to the temple all took part in.
The planning of the festival came down to the Archons of Athens, political leaders. Once elected and planned the festival kicked off.
With the help of two chairs and ten curators the festival began with pompe. All statutes of Dionysus were removed from temples as the polis, metics and representatives marched to the Theatre of Dionysus at Acropolis. This pompe was to re-enact the arrival of Dionysus at Athens.
Along with the statues, this was the time where phalloi were carried, along with water and wine.
Metics and foreigners wore purple robes and carried trays of offerings while citizens wore everyday clothes and carried the water and wine. This is thought to be associated to Dionysus's fashion of reversal of roles. Along with libations, oboloi, long bread, was offered.
Bulls made the procession as well to be sacrificed at the temple. Choregoi, sponsors, wore ornate clothes during the procession.
These sponsors partook in dithyrambic competetions, hymn singing to Dionysus after the pompe. Flute playing and lyrical poetry also took place. After, the bulls were sarcificed and Athenians took part of a feast.
Modern Hellenes can incorporate pompe into practice by taking a walk around local cities or town. One might like to travel to a theatre, as Dionysus is the god of theatre.

16-month-old Ayla inherited Pompe disease from her family genetics, but her life was saved when doctors administered drugs to her in utero
âAn unborn baby was treated through her umbilical cord for a rare genetic conditionâthe same disease that killed her two older siblingsâand the pioneering procedure prevented the infantâs death.
Itâs the first time in history Pompe disease has been treated in utero, and it could represent a life-saving new standard of care thatâs safe and effective for both mother and infant.
In Canada, the parents of 16-month-old Ayla were relieved when she was born as expected, with no signs of the disease that can cause lethal heart complications. Pompe affects fewer than 1 in 100,000 infants, but this inherited condition arising from a defective gene copy is often fatal...
In March of 2021, Aylaâs mother entered an Ottawa maternal hospital and over the following weeks received 6 injections of an infant-Pompe drug called alglucosidase alfa into the umbilical vein, a delivery method thatâs established for treating anemia in a fetus.
Ayla was born on schedule without any signs of the disease. Sheâs met normal developmental milestones and doesnât show any loss of motor function. She still receives regular ERT. The results were compiled and published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
âOur results are consistent with in utero ERT attenuating or even halting the disease process in the fetal period,â the doctors wrote in their case report.â -via Good News Network, 11/29/22

In Greek mythology, Pompe was the goddess or spirit (daimona) of religious processions or, more specifically, of the fertility processions of the god Dionysus. Pompe does not occur in any extant literature but in an Athenian vase-painting she and Dionysus gaze at each other affectionately in the company of Cupid.
