Near the city of Ioannina sits the pleasant ruin of Dodona. The oracle was active for about 1,500 years, until the 4th century BC. The Naia festival was held there, a combination of theater performances and athletic events. Party on, Greece.
The theater.
A great setting, mystical mountains in the distance. And a dog.

The oak tree is a recent planting, marking the spot where an ancient tree stood, a reference point where priests would consult Zeus. Rustling leaves gave the God's answer.
So fascinating!
