Claims

·Hypothetical

All the dead are to receive layered drink-offerings and prayers, with a promised barren heifer and pyre of good things in Ithaca.

See evidence text

“a drink-offering to all the dead, first, honey mixed with milk, then wine, and in the third place water—sprinkling white barley meal over the whole. Moreover you must offer many prayers to the poor feeble ghosts, and promise them that when you get back to Ithaca you will sacrifice a barren heifer to them, the best you have, and will load the pyre with good things”

·Remembered

Ulysses offers the dead honey and milk, wine, water, and barley, promising them his best barren heifer in Ithaca.

See evidence text

“I made a drink-offering to all the dead, first with honey and milk, then with wine, and thirdly with water, and I sprinkled white barley meal over the whole, praying earnestly to the poor feckless ghosts, and promising them that when I got back to Ithaca I would sacrifice a barren heifer for them, the best I had”
