They were smart, those oiled fish-eating goatfuckers. So maybe yes, that - and also sortition and ostracism.

oiled-fish

Sun-rotten fish guts even, called Garum. Or nowadays Colatura di Alici, Pissata from Nizza, etc.

Garum is Roman. Oiled goatfuckers were Greek.

Oh, brainfart.

But to be exact, they likely had that too. Garum was in ancient to medieval times europe what soy sauce is to asia nowadays.
