In fact, at one point it was.  But that was fixed.  I still have
this problem.

I'll go over it all again this afternoon or evening and see if
I did anything terribly stupid.  (Well, anything terribly stupid
that might affect this.  In the general case, I fear that it's a
foregone conclusion...)

Well, that could be.  I also have on occasion taken Helenic gods'
names in vain, as in "By the wart on Aprhodite's nose!"  But I
didn't think that they would be so touchy.

What, exactly, does Zeus take as a proper sacrifice?  I seem to
remember something about burning the bones of an animal, but that
might not be appreciated as my memory is that the gods got tricked
on that one.

Gods really are a difficult lot.
