@needlekind's OC Dodona and her bestie Kari out picking wildflowers!

[Image Description: Digital artwork of two women shown from the hips up in a field of wildflowers. Kari, on the left, is light-skinned with long brown hair. She wears a black robe and black witch's hat with bright pink stars on it. Dodona, on the right, is light-skinned with gold freckles and long bright pink hair. She wears a yellow apron dress over a pale long-sleeved shirt with a faint leaf pattern, round pink glasses, a yellow hair kerchief, and a translucent pink cape. Both are holding picked flowers, and Kari grins as Dodona leans in to tuck a flower behind her ear. /end ID]

Riordanverse human!weapons fanart

I borrowed Jack and Riptide’s designs from @space-tastic (though I changed their hair a little, because I wanted Riptide to have really wild hair and the og Jack’s hair would in my style look probably like ginger Jimmy Neutron :’D)

Arrow of Dodona’s design was made by @moodyseal

Go check these artists out, they’re both awesome!

Skofnung’s design was made by me. I know we don’t get to have her interact with anyone, but imo it’d be so funny if she was a (sword) lesbian and would turn Jack down Reyna style. And later they could develop a sort of annoying little brother & done with everything big sister dynamic. (I should write that as a fanfic.) But oh well. Let me know how you like them!

ADIVINACIÓN EN DODONA

Efectivamente, el santuario de Dodona, situado en el Epiro, una región al noroeste de la Grecia continental, es el oráculo más antiguo del mundo griego, pues sus orígenes se retrotraen al Heládico Antiguo I (ca. 3000-2600 a.C.). El santuario estaba consagrado a Zeus Naios, que compartía el templo con su forma femenina, Dione Naia, y ambos aparecen representados en monedas de esta región. Además, se han conservado tablillas en distintos dialectos griegos que contienen las preguntas que se le hacían al oráculo y las respuestas que este daba, lo que refleja que acudían a Dodona personas procedentes de todo el mundo griego. Pero, ¿cómo se llevaba a cabo la adivinación oracular?

Homero, en la Ilíada (XVI, 233-249), hace referencia a Dodona y dice que está “lejos”, pues el Epiro era, en efecto, una zona periférica y alejada de las grandes polis griegas. Además, menciona a los “selos”, los intérpretes de Zeus Dodoneo, que “no se lavan los pies y duermen en el suelo”, lo cual se entiende teniendo en cuenta la importancia que se concede en estos ámbitos al contacto directo con la tierra, de donde brotan los poderes oraculares. Sin embargo, estos misteriosos sacerdotes masculinos desaparecen en época arcaica y ya a mediados del s. V a.C. el oráculo de Dodona está dirigido por tres sacerdotisas que eran llamadas “palomas”.Tradicionalmente, las respuestas oraculares se daban a través de la interpretación del sonido que producían las hojas de la encina sagrada cuando soplaba el viento, aunque estas respuestas también podían emanar de las palomas que estaban posadas en este árbol, como recoge Heródoto (II, 55). Otro procedimiento de adivinación documentado, que tenía también relación con la interpretación de sonidos, se hacía a partir de unos calderos de bronce que se colocaban en alto sobre unos trípodes y que chocaban entre sí produciendo distintas reverberaciones. Normalmente, como reflejan las tablillas mencionadas, las consultas las hacían particulares y el oráculo contestaba de manera simple con formulaciones de “sí” o “no”.

Así pues, Dodona contó con un gran prestigio dentro del mundo griego, aunque su relativo aislamiento hizo que fuese eclipsado en gran medida por el santuario de Delfos. A pesar de esto, el santuario conservó su importancia y, durante el reinado de Pirro (s. IV-III a.C.), se convirtió en el centro religioso del reino constituyéndose la festividad de Naia.

The Oracles

THE Oracles of Greece and Greater Greece are many; but the eldest is that of Dodonian Zeus. In ages past, two black doves flew from Egyptian Thebes: one to Libyan Ammon, the other to Dodona, and each alighted on an oak-tree, which they proclaimed to be an oracle of Zeus. At Dodona, Zeus’ priestesses listen to the cooing of doves, or to the rustling of oak-leaves, or to the clanking of brazen vessels suspended from the branches. Zeus has another famous oracle at Olympia, where his priests reply to questions after inspecting the entrails of sacrificial victims. (The Oracles, The Greek Myths by Robert Graves, pp178-182).

Throughout the Greek myths, protagonists’ fortunes are foretold by one of the oracles, although often obliquely: and the predictions can rarely be avoided.

Someone: Who’s your favourite Percy Jackson character?

Me: Obviously it’s Annabeth Chase

Someone: that’s such a basic answer.

Me: alright you want the real answer? The prophetic arrow in Trials of Apollo that only Lester can hear and only speaks Shakespeare. Look it up. That’s my favourite character.

Apollo’s Oracle

Apollo, lord of music, song, prophecy, poems, and Sun

Please give me your voice

Make me an oracle

Chanting prophecies that no one understands

Screaming and yelling in desperation to be understood

I’m already like Cassandra, with no one listening to my words

Please make me your Oracle

Pythia of Delphi, Sibyl of Cumae, Herophile of Erythaea, Dodona, Trophonius

Your circle of sacred messengers

Include me

I’ll give myself to you

Let the madness of prophecy and the light of the sun consume me

Apollo…

Call to me and give me the gift of sight and prophecy.

Let me spew your words in smoke and venom.

‘I may have yelled a few choice words, but the sphere of silence censored them, so you will have to use your imagination’ (Lester Papadopoulos ,pg.267, ch.27, Trails of Apollo the Tyrants Tomb)
