Daedala to Dentil Molding Deo to Dysnomia
The site of the most ancient oracle of Zeus on mainland Greece.
Dodona was an inland city located in the northwestern province of Epirus; the shrine was established when two Egyptian priestesses with the skill of divination were carried away by Phoenicians and sold as slaves; one was sold in Libya and the other was sold in Greece at Dodona; the inhabitants of Dodona told the historian, Herodotus, that the first oracle arrived, not as a woman, but as a black dove with human speech; Herodotus discounted this story but did not doubt the veracity or antiquity of the oracle.
