Note 24 — Chapter I · OLYMPIAN AND CHTHONIC RITUAL.
Reading edition
Companion to the Iliad, p. 77. I have advisedly translated οὐλοχύται by barley grain, not meal, because I believe the οὐλοχύται to be a primitive survival of the custom of offering actual grain, but this disputed question is here irrelevant. I follow Dr H. von Fritze, Hermes XXXII. 1897, p. 236.
