Verse
Iliad
Book 2, Line 420 by Samuel Butler (English)
He accepted the sacrifice, yet none the less increased their toil [ ponos ] continually. When they had done praying and sprinkling the barley-meal upon the victim, they drew back its head, killed it, and then flayed it. They cut out the thigh-bones, wrapped them round in two layers of fat, and set pieces of raw meat on the top of them.
