The capital of //****// Epirus //****// is //****// Dodona //****// where Zeus was thought to provide oracles. To the north of Cambunian range has the highest mountain range, thought to be the home of the gods, //****// Mount //** **// Olympus //****// (next to //****// Mt. //** **// Ossa //****// .) Between the mountains is a valley called the //****// Valley //****// of //****// Tempe //****// which runs next to the river, //****// Peneius //** **// River //****// . //**
