the priestesses who gave oracles in the temple of Jupiter in Dodona. According to some traditions the temple was originally inhabited by seven daughters of Atlas, who nursed Bacchus. Their names were Ambrosia, Eudora, Pasithoe, Pytho, Pleuxare, Coronis, Tythe or Tyche. In the later ages the oracles were always delivered by three old women; which custom was first established when Jupiter enjoyed the company of Dionne, whom he permitted to receive divine honour in his temple at Dodona. The Bœotians were the only people of Greece who received their oracles at Dodona from men, for reasons which Strabo, l. 9, fully explains.
