The hecatomb remained aboard while the ship entered and was moored inside the harbour, before being landed on the sea-shore.
See evidence text
“Ulysses reached Chryse with the hecatomb. When they had come inside the harbour they furled the sails and laid them in the ship’s hold; they slackened the forestays, lowered the mast into its place, and rowed the ship to the place where they would have her lie; there they cast out their mooring-stones and made fast the hawsers. They then got out upon the sea-shore and landed the hecatomb for Apollo”

The holy hecatomb is ranged in order around Apollo’s altar while the sacrificers wash and sprinkle barley meal.
See evidence text
“they ranged the holy hecatomb all orderly round the altar of the god. They washed their hands and took up the barley-meal to sprinkle over the victims”

The hecatomb victims are killed and flayed; their fat-wrapped thighbones and raw meat burn under wine, while the remaining meat is spitted, roasted, and shared.
See evidence text
“they drew back the heads of the victims and killed and flayed them. They cut out the thigh-bones, wrapped them round in two layers of fat, set some pieces of raw meat on the top of them, and then Chryses laid them on the wood fire and poured wine over them, while the young men stood near him with five-pronged spits in their hands. When the thighbones were burned and they had tasted the inward meats, they cut the rest up small, put the pieces upon the spits, roasted them till they were done, and drew them off: then, when they had finished their work and the feast was ready, they ate it, and every man had his full share, so that all were satisfied.”
