grbs-2941	Collins, Billy Jean	Greek ὀλολύζω and Hittite palwai-: Exultation in the Ritual Slaughter of Animals	1995	7	.pdf	application/pdf	2872	145	69	Passages commonly cited as typical examples of Greek sacrifice include Od. 4.759-67, where Penelope raises the cry to accompany a prayer to Athena: (d) After bathing and taking clean clothes on her body, (Penelope) went with her women attendants to the upper chamber, (where) she placed barley grains in a basket and prayed to Athena, Hear me, 0 Unwearied One, child of aegis-bearing Zeus. Burkert persistently presents this action as a shrill (i. e., unpleasant) and highly emotional act,8 which then fits into his characterization of Greek sacrifice as guilt ridden and cathartic of unpleasant emotions and tensions.	cache/grbs-2941.pdf	txt/grbs-2941.txt
