Question

To protect Bindusara from poison, Chanakya performed this action and subsequently placed Bindusara inside the stomachs of goats for seven days. This action was performed on a dying Clothru at Lough (“lock”) Ree, where her son Furbaide later avenged her by slinging cheese at Medb (“mayve”). After Coronis’s ill-fated affair with Ischys, Apollo performed this action at her funeral pyre, earning Aesclepius his name. To aid Rudaba, Zal burned a white (*) feather to summon the Simurgh and received its (10[1])guidance on how to perform this action using wine. This action likely was not performed on Aurelia Cotta, as she survived to see her (10[1])son invade Britain. For 10 points, despite a misinterpretation of Pliny the Elder, what obstetrical procedure is not actually named (10[1])for the birth (10[1])of Rome’s dictator for life? ■END■
