“Oracles from DodonaTo the
people of the Athenians the prophet of Zeus announces. Whereas ye have
let pass the seasons of the sacrifice and of the sacred embassy, he bids
you send nine chosen envoys, and that right soon. To Zeus of the
Ship1
sacrifice three oxen and with each ox three sheep; to Dione one ox and a
brazen table for the offering which the people of the Athenians have
offered.The prophet of Zeus in
Dodona announces. To
Dionysus pay public sacrifices and mix a bowl of wine and set up dances;
to Apollo the Averter sacrifice an ox and wear garlands, both free men
and slaves, and observe one day of rest; to Zeus, the giver of wealth, a
white bull.”
