Dodona
Hiera Oikia with oracular oak tree



"...the prophetesses of the Dodonians say, that two black pigeons from Egyptian Thebes flew up and one of them came to Libya and the other to them; then she, sitting in a wild oak, made an utterance in human speech that there must be made right there a seat of Zeus' prophecy..."
—Herodotus
