 In the "Iliad" (circa 750 BCE), Achilles prays to "High Zeus, Lord of Dodona, Pelasgian, living afar off, brooding over wintry Dodona" (thus demonstrating that Zeus also could be invoked from a distance).No buildings are mentioned, and the priests (called "Selloi") slept on the ground with unwashed feet.No priestesses are mentioned in Homer.
