About Dodona (Oracle of Zeus)
Dodona was the site of an oracle of Zeus, among the oldest and most revered in the Greek world, active from at least the early first millennium BCE. Priests and priestesses interpreted the rustling of a sacred oak tree to deliver the god's pronouncements to worshippers. The sanctuary rivaled Delphi and later acquired a large theater for religious festivals.
