As he nears the shore, he sees an extraordinary gathering of 4,500 people taking part in a massive sacrifice of 81 bulls to Poseidon, god of the sea. Although this scene belongs to the world of epic poetry, new research suggests that it may preserve a distant memory of real Bronze Age rituals once performed at Pylos.
