[X] Who are we to reprimand the Peuketii for doing as we asked and finding us food? Woe to the Lucani for ranging out of their territory for grazing, they have paid the price. Let us feast now and then return home with peace of mind and full stomach.
The people of Eretria made their decision loud and clear, and with such powerful unanimity that the atmosphere was thick with hungry anticipation. Along among the citizens were a few hoplites who warned of impending trouble and evil from accepting ghe feast, and the consistent challenge of Drako, who refused his share in the feast and instead offered it to his friends and companions instead. When asked why he would not eat, Drako explained that he had failed to convince the
ekklesia "so terribly" that he did not deserve a cut of the meat; instead he would take the bones and throw them over his shoulder to emphasize his burden in this decision. This was honored, and soon a pile of sheep bones began to collect around Drako. Others, who interpreted a religious meaning to the pile, assumed this was some kind of important offering and began to pile even more bones.
