Translated headword: the Cretans (and) the sacrifice
Vetting Status: high
Translation: A proverb.[1] If ever a sacrifice is disrupted, it is called 'Cretan'. This is because after a storm Agamemnon sacrificed there, climbing up into Polyrrhenon[2] [sc. to do so]. But meanwhile the prisoners burned the ships. When he heard this, he abandoned the sacrifices, came to the seashore and found a single ship; cursing the natives, he embarked in it.
