they were sacrificing ample hecatombs of asses to their god.
The bible speaks only of sacrificing to god animals which were normally eaten by the people. I assume tgat as today, donkeys werent eaten in greece. if so i wonder if greeks sacrificed nonfood animals. Mybe pindar alludes to thjis when he subsequently calls them strange beasts. Or maybe they ate donkeys. Or maybe asses is an innaccurate translation or else an imprecise word which can include beef or mutton
