Etymologies: Morphological Composition: Now Dodona (the Thesprotian), in which the oracle is from the oak.; Morphological Composition: since in Dodona at first a beech (φηγός) prophesied.; Place Transfer: that the beech and the oracle of Zeus were transferred into Epirus.; Unclear Metalinguistic: others write 'Bodonaie' — for there is a city Bodona where it is honored.; Eponym Person: from Dodone, one of the Oceanid nymphs.; Eponym Person: from Dodon, [offspring] of Zeus and Europa.; Morphological Composition: it is plausible that (the name comes) from the river Dodon.; Unclear Metalinguistic: they also called the Dodonaian 'Naios'.; Morphological Composition: the feminine form Δωδωνίς from Δωδώνη (just as Παλλήνη → Παλληνίς).; Folk Etymology Narrative: He (Apollodorus) etymologizes 'those who call Zeus Dodonaian do so because he gives us goods.'; Borrowing Non Greek: and (he says) 'Pelasgian' because it is 'pélas' (near) the earth (i.e. of Pelasgian origin).

Dodona: a city of the Molossians in Epirus, where is (the cult of) Zeus of Dodona—“ruling over Dodona” (Il. 16.234). And Dionysius (Perieg. 430): “Dodona, an endless expanse of Epeirus, stretches out far and wide.” Philoxenus, however, the writer of a commentary on the Odyssey (fr. 402 Theodoridis), says there are two (places called Dodona), a Thessalian and a Thesprotian, as follows: “By ‘Dodona’ he now means the Thesprotian one, in which the oracle is from the oak; but the other is the Thessalian, from which Achilles addresses Zeus.” Yet he seems to have forgotten the line: “and around you the Selli dwell, your interpreters, unwashed of feet, sleeping on the ground” (Il. 16.234–35). For how could Achilles, if invoking him from the Thessalian (Dodona), remember these (Selli)? In the same way Epaphroditus, in his notes on Iliad book Π (fr. 35 Braswell–Billerbeck = fr. 39 Lünzner), says: “he honors those in Dodona …” … having a famous oracle: “and he said he would go to Dodona” (Od. 14.327; 19.296). But Achilles invoked the god who neighbors him in Thessaly, just as Pandarus prays to the Lyceian-born (Apollo) (Il. 4.119) and Chryses to the Smintheus (Il. 1.39). They also called the Dodonaean (Zeus) ‘Naios’. Zenodotus (p. 116 Düntzer) writes ‘Phegonaie’, since at Dodona an oak first gave oracles. And Suidas (FGrHist 602 F 11c) too says that there is a sanctuary of ‘Zeus Phegonaeus’ in Thessaly and that he is invoked by this name. Others write ‘Bodonaie’: for there is said to be a city Bodona where he is honored. Cineas (FGrHist 603 F 2) says there is a city in Thessaly, and an oak, and that the oracle of Zeus was transferred to Epirus. According to Thrasybulus (FHG II 464a)—as Epaphroditus reports in his commentary on the second book of Aitia (fr. 57 Braswell–Billerbeck = fr. 55 Lünzner)—it was named from Dodone, one of the Oceanid nymphs. But Acestodorus (FHG II 464a) derives it from Dodonos, son of Zeus and Europa. More likely (it is named) from the river Dodon, which ‘the grammarian’ cites in book 1 of his General Prosody (Hdn. 1.24.23–24), saying: “Dodon is a river of Epirus.” There are two Dodonas, this one and the one in Thessaly, as others too (say), including Mnaseas (fr. 16). … Either (the proverb refers) to people who talk too much, or because a bronze vessel, when struck, rings under a whip, or because it rings by the force of the winds—whence the proverb. The ethnic adjective (for Dodona) is inexpressible, as having suffered apocope; but if one were to form it, it would be Dodōnios, as Pleurōn gives Pleurōnios, Kalydōn gives Kalydōnios. For Dodona itself, however, (the proper adjective is) Dodōnaios. Hecataeus in his Europa (FGrHist 1 F 108): “South of the Molossians dwell the Dodonaeans.” Homer (Il. 16.233): “Lord Zeus of Dodona.” Cratinus in Archilochi (fr. 5 Kassel–Austin): “like a Dodonaean dog, a clod-splitting old woman, a crane.” The feminine Dodōnis is from Dodōnē, as Pallēnē gives Pallēnis. Apollonius (Argon. 1.527 = 4.583): “Athena fitted together the barren oak of Dodōnis.” Sophocles in Odysseus Acanthoplex (fr. 456 Radt): “the inspired priestesses, the Dodonides.” Apollodorus in book 1 of On the Gods (FGrHist 244 F 88) etymologizes ‘Dodonaean’ thus: “just as those who call Zeus ‘Dodonaean’ because he gives us good things (didōsin), and ‘Pelasgian’ because he is near (pélas) the earth.” There is also the proverb “the Dodonaean bronze” (Zenob. 6.5 [I 162 Leutsch–Schneidewin]) of those who talk too much; as Demon (FGrHist 327 F 20a) says, it comes “from the fact that the temple of Zeus of Dodona had no walls, but many tripods close together, so that what touched one passed on by contact the resonance to each, and the sound persisted until someone touched one of them.” But the proverb says not “many cauldrons or tripods” but only “one bronze vessel.” We should therefore add Polemon the periegete (fr. 30 Preller), who knew Dodona precisely, and Aristides who transcribed his account, who says in book 2 (FHG IV 326 F 30): “At Dodona are two pillars, parallel and close to one another. On one of them is a bronze vessel, not large, similar to the cauldrons of today; on the other a little boy holding a whip in his right hand; beside his right side stands the pillar that bears the small cauldron. Whenever it happens that a wind blows, the whip’s thongs—being bronze—swing in the wind like real leather thongs and strike the bronze vessel, and do this continuously for as long as the wind lasts.” “And indeed in our times,” says Tarraeus (fr. 3 Linnenkugel), “the handle of the whip has been preserved, but the thongs have fallen off.” Yet from a certain local inhabitant we heard that, since the bronze vessel was struck by the whip and rang for a long time, and since Dodona is wintry, it quite naturally passed into a proverb. Menander mentions it in the Arrhephoros (fr. 65 Kassel–Austin = fr. 60 Sandbach): “But if anyone merely stirs up this Myrtilē, or calls her ‘nurse’, she makes no end of talking; one could sooner stop the Dodonaean bronze—said to ring all day long if a passer-by just brushes it—than stop her talking; for she carries on into the night.”
