In Homer's "Odyssey," Odysseus takes a ram to the Underworld as a sacrifice to honor the dead and seek guidance from the prophet Tiresias. The blood of the ram, once spilled, allows the spirits of the deceased to communicate with him. This act is part of the ancient Greek tradition of offering sacrifices to the gods and the dead to gain their favor and insight. By bringing the ram, Odysseus ensures a successful encounter with the souls he wishes to consult.
