Selloi

The Selloi (Greek: Σελλοί) were inhabitants of Epirus in ancient Greece, in a region between Dodona — site of the oldest reported oracle — and the Achelous river; Aristotle named the area ancient Hellas. A group who were formerly called Graecians and later Hellenes lived there as well.[1] According to Homer, they were priests of the Dodonian Zeus.[2]
