🌳The #Oracle of #Dodona: a space of shared human experience across millennia.

Universal value lies in the inquiries inscribed on tiny lead tablets (ελάσματα).
Diviners interpreted Zeus' answers through the rustle of the sacred oak (φηγός) & the flight of doves.

The unique acoustic rituals included the "Scourge of the Corcyraeans" (Κερκυραίων μάστιξ), a votive bronze boy statue holding a whip. Blown by mountain winds, its chains struck a cauldron (λέβητας).
