At Selinus, a wide lead pill with columns of writing the wrong way up to one another is assumed to be a therapy for murder pollutants coming up from civil strife, yet so much of it is still vague and intractable. The gods who're named and the ritual that's prescribed were misinterpreted within the mild of literary works that stay at the sensational. as a substitute, they belong to agrarian faith and stick with a typical series of devotions, the upside-down columns being reversed halfway in the course of the 12 months with magical influence. Gods and formality have been chosen due to their attract usual folks. Selinus was once ruled by means of an extended enduring oligarchy which made an attempt, showing additionally within the fiscal info of sacrifice, to reconcile wealthy and poor.
