Mount Pangaion: The Mountain of Gold and Ancient Greek Oracles
Mount Pangaion was a geographical nexus of wealth, mystery, and profound religious significance in the ancient world, located in the ancient region of Thrace, modern Greek Macedonia.
The mountain was a mythological landscape connected to the Thracian gods and heroes, notably Dionysus and Orpheus, and was home to the Oracle of Dionysus, a site of divination rivaling the great pan-Hellenic sanctuaries.
“The Satrae [Thracian tribe] have an oracle of Dionysus on their highest mountains… The priests who deliver the oracles are the Bessi…” —Herodotus, Histories 7.
