Extrait du document

Greek The oldest and most famous sanctuary of the god Zeus, situated in Epirus, in northwestern Greece. Since the times of the Pelasgians, the most ancient peoples of the land that is now called Greece, people had come here to consult the Oracle who was said to live in a sacred oak tree (some said it was a beech tree) and to represent Zeus. People also worshiped the ancient goddess Dione at Dodona. Her presence at Dodona suggests that the oracle of Dodona was of greater antiquity than Zeus himself.
