In William Edward Hearn's 1878 book The Aryan Household, Hearn characterizes the Indo-European ritual of sacrifice as a means of attaining closeness with the gods. Particularly, within the domestic sphere, every father is both king and priest of his household, responsible for sacrifice towards the household gods who are often deified ancestors (what the Romans called the Lares).
