Dodona
Dodona (; Doric Greek: Δωδώνα, ''Dōdṓnā'', Ionic and Attic Greek: Δωδώνη, ''Dōdṓnē'') in Epirus in northwestern Greece was the oldest Hellenic oracle, possibly dating to the second millennium BCE according to Herodotus. The earliest accounts in Homer describe Dodona as an oracle of Zeus. Situated in a remote region away from the main Greek poleis, it was considered second only to the Oracle of Delphi in prestige. Aristotle considered the region around Dodona to have been part of Hellas and the region where the Hellenes originated.; Aristotle. ''Meteorologica''1.14 The oracle was first under the control of the Thesprotians before it passed into the hands of the Molossians. It remained an important religious sanctuary until the rise of Christianity during the Late Roman era. Description During classical antiquity, according to various accounts, priestesses and priests in the sacred grove interpreted the rustling of the oak (or beech) leaves to determin ...

Dodona (Thessaly)
Dodona ( grc, Δωδώνη) was a city of Perrhaebia in ancient Thessaly, situated near Scotussa. There is a more famous Dodona in Epirus, the site of a famous oracle of Zeus. The ancients wrote that there were two places of the name of Dodona, one in Thessaly, in the district of Perrhaebia near Mount Olympus, and the other (the Thesprotian Dodona) in Epirus in the district of Thesprotia. The Thessalian Dodona is mentioned in the Catalogue of Ships in the Homer's ''Iliad'' along with Cyphus, Gonnos, and the "banks of the Titaresius", all ruled by Guneus, and belonging to the Enienes and Peraebi. These places and ethnic groups are all located in ancient Thessaly, not Epirus; and thus, there can be no doubt, that this passage in Homer refers to the Dodona in Thessaly. However, the other Dodona, and its oracle which Odysseus consulted, is mentioned by Homer in the ''Odyssey''. There is another mention by Homer in the ''Iliad'' of Dodona, with a difference of opinion concerning which ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Dodona (see)
The diocese of Dodona was an episcopal see in the Roman province of Epirus Vetus in Late Antiquity ( 5th–6th centuries). The diocese disappeared during the Slavic invasions. In the 9th century, a new diocese of Vonitsa, taking its name from one of the Slavic tribes, appeared. Although the 1907 '' Catholic Encyclopedia'' recognized Vonitsa (then called Bodone) as the same diocese as Dodona, the '' Annuario Pontificio'' treats Vonitsa (Bonitza) and Dodona as distinct titular sees in the Catholic Church.''Annuario Pontificio 2013'' (Libreria Editrice Vaticana 2013 ), "Sedi titolari", p. 882 At some date a Christian church was built on the site of the temple of Zeus at Dodona.
