Dodona was the oldest known Oracle in ancient Greece.
It is believed to even be older than the Oracle at Delphi dating back to the 2nd millennium BCE.
The priestesses tended an ancient oak tree that spoke to them and gave them prophecies.
The priestesses also practiced ornithomancy which is reading omens by watching the actions of birds.
