An ancient sanctuary and oracle site dedicated to Zeus in northwestern Greece, famous in classical antiquity.
From ancient Greek 'Dodona,' of uncertain origin, possibly related to 'drus' (oak tree), since the sanctuary was famous for its oracle speaking through rustling oak trees. One of the oldest oracle sites in Greece.
Dodona's oracle was unique—it didn't use a priestess like the famous Delphi oracle, but rather priests who interpreted the rustling of oak tree leaves and the cooing of doves. It shows how ancient cultures found wisdom in nature itself.
