Ostracinda or Ostrakinda was an ancient Greek game for boys, similar to modern Tag (game). Two sides stand opposite divided by a line drawn on the ground. A boy throws up a shell or a dish, white on one side, and colored black on the other. As he throws the shell, he calls νὺξ (night), or ἡμέρα (day).
If the shell falls white side up, the competitor who represents the day pursues, and the competitor who represents the night runs away; if the shell falls black side up, the roles are reversed. As
