   • The consumption of meat and wine demonstrates the heroes' close relationship to the gods, since these, unlike other foodstuffs, are always offered to the gods: a splash of wine from any drinking occasion is always poured for the gods (as a libation), and animals that are killed are always "sacrificed," never merely butchered. 2017, Emily Wilson, “Introduction”, in The Odyssey, →ISBN, Gods, page 36:
