[107\5: The regular animal used as victim in ~enagi/smata~ for the dead is a sheep; other animals occur less frequently. The black colour is general; the sacrifice was burnt completely: cf. the instances collected by Stengel, _Ztschr. f. Gymnasi._, 1880, p. 743 f., _Jahrb. f.

Hesych. ~kauto/n~).--The ~se/linon~ (a plant sacred to the dead; see above, n. 40) probably served as food for the dead at the ~tri/ta~ and other banquets "of the dead", and was not used as food for the living at the ~peri/deipnon~; consequently it might never be used at the meals of the living: Plin. 20, 113, following Chrysippos and Dionysios. (In the mysteries of the Kabeiroi the ~anaktotele/stai~ had a special reason of their own for forbidding parsley ~auto/rizon epi\ trape/zês tithe/nai~, Clem.

The dead man is summoned to come and drink the offerings (~elthe\ d' hôs pi/ê|s~): E., _Hec._ 535 ff. It was the general opinion that ~ho nekro\s pi/etai~ of the drink offerings (_AP._ xi, 8; _Epigr.

Since a Hero in the higher sense was buried there it was customary to pass in silence the monument, e.g., of Narkissos, ~hê/rôs Sigêlo/s~: Str. 404 (so also the grove and chasm of Kolonos where the Erinyes dwell: S., _OC._ 130 ff.). The feeling underlying this is easy to understand, and the custom therefore is widespread: e.g. among West African negroes, Réville, _Relig. des peuples non civil._ i, 73. It is a German superstition (Grimm, p. 1811, n. 830). "Never call the dead by name or you may _cry them up_".] [111\5: Pl., _Phd._ 81 CD.
