Corfu and Dodoni, Corcyra/Dodona

Lead strips from the Oracle at Dodona (Archaeological Museum of Ioannina);
questions to the Oracle posed by Corfiots.
Two Corcyraean questions to Zeus and other gods:

"To which god or hero should we make sacrifices? Which should we invoke, so that we can rule our land in the best and safest possible way, and have a rich and good crop?"

"Which gods or heroes should we submit to?"

It might be a good time to consult the Oracle at Dodona once again.
There are a number of questions that come to mind these difficult days.

At Dodoni, 1968

Four short poems.

Corcyra/Dodona

A Corfiot scourge!

She chatters

Like knuckle-bones striking a cauldron.

Dodona Oracle, Easter 2000

The leaves are not rustling,
The pigeons don't fly-
But the wild flowers are saying
"You'll live till you die."

Prayer

Lord Zeus of wintry Dodona-
Postpone our struggle
With crafty Charon.

Oracular Seeds

 I planted acorns from Dodona
To grow my own
Prophetic tree.

(from Corfu Blues, the book)
