In The Odyssey when Odysseus enters Hades, the Greek afterlife to find the prophet Tiresias, he sacrifices a ram and a ewe.
The deceased come forth, thirsty for the recently spilled sheep’s blood, but Odysseus refuses to let any other entity approach until Tiresias drinks and delivers his prophecy.

“Honour, riches, marriage-blessing,
Long continuance, and increasing,
Hourly joys be still upon you!
Juno sings her blessings upon you.”
–Shakespeare, The Tempest, A4, S1
