		Epirus itself remained culturally backward during this time, but Mycenean remains have been found at two religious shrines of great antiquity in the region: the Oracle of the Dead on the Acheron River, familiar to the heroes of Homer's Odyssey, and the Oracle of Zeus at Dodona, to whom Achilles prayed in the Iliad.
		The greatest Molossian king of this coalition was Pyrrhus (319-272); he and his son Alexander II ruled as far south as Acarnania and to central Albania in the north.

	Alexander Changes the World
		Alexander was intelligent enough to avoid hating those thought to be his enemies, and after his first victory over the Persians he honored the dead Persian troops as well as his own, and he paid a special honor to the Persian commander who had come close to killing him.
		Alexander and his troops spent the remainder of the winter at Persepolis, and there Alexander began thinking that he could not be both the avenger of the wrongs wrought by the Persians in Greece and at the same times be the Persian's exalted ruler.
		Alexander was concerned about his image among Persians, and, to match his court to the expectations of his new subjects and courtiers in the East, he began to discard the Macedonian custom of openness with which he could be addressed.
