Selloi
The Selloi were inhabitants of Epirus in ancient Greece, in a region between Dodona—site of the oldest reported oracle—and the Achelous river; Aristotle named the area ancient Hellas. A group who were formerly called Graeci (''Graikoi'') and later Hellenes lived there as well. 〔Aristotle:''Meteorologica'' (Book 1 Part 14 )〕 According to Homer, they were priests of the Dodonian Zeus.〔"King Zeus, lord of Dodona, god of the Pelasgi, who dwellest afar, you who hold wintry Dodona in your sway, where your prophets the Selloi dwell around you."Homer, Iliad book 16,233-235〕 and the word probably means "sacrificers" (compare Gothic ''saljan'', "present, sacrifice").〔Beekes entry 6701: ''Selloi''.(Greek Etymological Dictionary )〕
Selloi were the priests of Dodonian Zeus〔 Homer, ''Iliad'' 16.233–35: "King Zeus, lord of Dodona, ... you who hold wintry Dodona in your sway, where your prophets the Selloi dwell around you."〕 There is currently no satisfactory etymology of the name ''Hellenes''. Some scholars assert that the name Selloi changed to Sellanes and then to Hellanes-Hellenes. 〔 The name may probably be compared with Proto-Indo-European ''
*sa(e)wol'', ''soh2wol'', Latin ''sol'', Greek ''helios'', and Sanskrit ''suryah''.) 〔Online Etymology Dictionary. "(Sol )"〕
