description Starting from the connection between formulaic iteration and ritual iteration in Homeric type-scenes of sacrifice, this paper aims to investigate whether formulaic variations can be reconstructed as significant evidence of ritual variations. In particular, this work, developed along the lines of the historical-anthropological method, deals with the presence of two non-formulaic verses (Il. II 425-426). Since these verses describe the same actions represented at Il. I 462-463 = Od. III 459-460, a couple of formulaic verses, the reason behind this variation has been explored. It has been possible to observe that the different composition of the group of performers can modify the ways of performing identical ritual actions and the formulaic pattern of Homeric descriptions as a consequence.
