Since the second goat was sent away to perish,[11] the word "scapegoat" has developed to indicate a person who is blamed and punished for the sins of others. The scapegoat, as a religious and ritualistic practice and a metaphor for social exclusion, is one of the major preoccupations in Dimitris Lyacos's Poena Damni trilogy.[17][18] In the first book, Z213: Exit, the narrator sets out on a voyage in the midst of a dystopian landscape that is reminiscent of the desert mentioned in Leviticus (16, 22).	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-7627.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-7627.txt
