'''Dodona Selloi''', a human living on [[New Caprica]], is an [[oracle]].

[[Number Three]] visits Selloi in her tent, guided by a dream she has about [[Hera Agathon|Hera]], a child believed dead.

Selloi is surrounded in her tent by curious tapestries and stones. She sits within some of the stones, consuming [[chamalla]], although she prefers some candy or chocolate caramels as well, as chamalla is a bitter substance.

Selloi tells her that [[Zeus, Lord of Kobol|Zeus]] and the other [[Religion in the Twelve Colonies#The Lords of Kobol|Lords of Kobol]] are sad for Three. When Three disputes the existence of the Lords of Kobol, Selloi tells her that she knows that Three's own beliefs about [[God (RDM)|God]] are in flux, and that the [[humanoid Cylon]] does not know what to believe.

Selloi knows of Three's dream, and tells her of a message from Three's God: The child of two peoples ([[Colonials|human]] and [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]]) is alive, a child named after the [[Hera, Lord of Kobol|wife and sister of Zeus]]<ref>The specific description of the goddess Hera further deepens the parallelism between the Lords of Kobol and their counterparts in the Olympian pantheon of real-world Earth's Greek mythology.</ref>. She warns Three, however, that when Three is able to hold the child in her arms, she will unravel all that the Cylon occupation has done {{TRS|Exodus, Part I}}.

==Notes==

*Selloi is the first oracle seen in the [[Re-imagined Series]]. Other oracles, such as [[Galen Tyrol]]'s mother and [[Pythia]], have been mentioned only. Later, [[Yolanda Brenn]] is introduced, because Amanda Plummer was unavailable to reprise her role.
*The character is named for [[Wikipedia:Dodona|Dodona]] (Δωδώνη), an ancient city which was home to a Greek oracle<ref>Stewart, Michael.
