Dodona was always somewhat isolated and distant from major urban centers, but this did not prevent supplicants from undertaking an arduous journey in order to consult Zeus about matters of utmost importance. Agis asked Zeus and Dione about his coverlets and the pillows. Did he lose them himself or did someone stole them? Aescylinos was unsure about an appointment; should he visit Tisaldes? The answer was negative. He should not sail. The people of Dodona came with a meteorological question; did the god cause the wintry weather because someone was impure? And two people wanted to know if the slave Sindos actually stole the flowers.
