That might be because you’re dead, my guy. Animals don’t tend to like dead people.

“καὶ γὰρ νῦν, ὅτε πού τις ἐπιχθονίων ἀνθρώπων ἔρδων ἱερὰ καλὰ κατὰ νόμον ἱλάσκηται, κικλῄσκει Ἑκάτην. πολλή τέ οἱ ἕσπετο τιμὴ ῥεῖα μάλ᾽, ᾧ πρόφρων γε θεὰ ὑποδέξεται εὐχάς, καί τέ οἱ ὄλβον ὀπάζει, ἐπεὶ δύναμίς γε πάρεστιν. - Even now, when some earthdwelling mortal prays, offering fine sacrifices by custom, he calls upon Hecate. Great honor follows him very easily, whose prayers the goddess welcomes gladly, and she sends fortune with him, for power is at her command.”

— Hesiod, Theogony 416-20

Folks sometimes get confused when classicists talk about the difference between cultus and mythology, and I think the best way to illustrate it is to think about the relationship between Christianity and Hollywood.

Like, imagine trying to reconstruct the the day-to-day practices of American-style Protestant Christianity if all you had to go on was the Prophecy series, Kevin Smith’s Dogma, and the Nicholas Cage Ghost Rider movie.

If you can picture that, you’ll have a pretty clear idea of how well you’re likely to do if you try to develop a picture of what Ancient Greek religion actually looked like based on Hesiod and Virgil.
