Location within Thessaly: A discrepancy?

[edit]

The article currently provides some place-names as to where Dodona (Thessaly) was, but there appears to be some discrepancy. This could be answered by some classical scholar, or at least someone with access to the Barrington Atlas and other major references.

I looked at the map of Thessaly, which is based on a map of 1926. Dodona (Thessaly) doesn't appear on this map. The article mentions the district of Perrhaebia; that's not shown as such, but the map does locate 5 cities of that district: Pythion, Doliche, Azorus, Oloosson and Phalanna. The article also mentions Scotussa, which is on the map, but Scotussa appears to be in a different part of Thessaly, very roughly 30 to 50 km to the southeast. So the invitation is to you, if you can tell which is correct and edit the article accordingly. Oaklandguy (talk) 00:33, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
