shoulders
Manes! Manes was tanned and stuffed,
Thus Ben and la Clara a Milano
by the heels at Milano
That maggots shd/ eat the dead bullock
DIGONOS, Δίγονος, but the twice crucified
where in history will you find it?
Ezra Pound, The Cantos. LXXIV 1-8. New Directions (1970)
It was related how in the Arcadian village of Kynaithai, at the winter festival of Dionysos, the men carried a bull —which they had chosen through divine inspiration— in their arms to the sanctuary. On the island of Tenedos a cow with calf was cared for like a pregnant woman and then like a woman in childbed, for the benefit of Dionysos, who was known there as the "god who crushes men". When the calf was born, hunting boots such as the god often wore were put on it, and it was then sacrified in the place of a child, who was none other than the child Dionysos.
