	cult
		Pausanians recorded that Herakles was worshiped both as a hero and as a god in sacrificial rituals in Sikyon.
		First, whenever the Sikyonians slew a lamb and roasted the thighs on the altar, they ate some of the meat (which is typical of sacrifice to the gods), and offered the rest to the hero aspect of Herakles by burning it (which is typical of sacrifice to heroes) (Guthrie 238; Pausanias 2.10.1).
		In terms of sociology and Anthropology ‘ritual’ and ceremony may designate a large range of social events, not all that may be religious or have some type of formal aspect.
