Thesproter
The Thesproter or Thesproten were the ancient inhabitants of the northern Greek landscape of Thesprotien . Along with the Molossians and Chaonians, they were one of the three important tribes of ancient Epirus . Homer already described the Thesproters in the Odyssey as a seafaring people under the rule of King Pheidon . The most important city of the ancient Thesprotias was Ephyra , which had a very famous oracle for the dead ( necromantion ).
