The anathema of the Corcyraeans at Dodona was a peculiar dedication consisting of two paired pillars, on the top of which a boy holding a knucklebones whip and a bronze cauldron stand. No trace of the monument survives, but through the analysis of the literary evidence and the cultural frame, this paper reads it as a multidimensional offering, which combined iconography and sound, meant to convey the visual and acoustic representation of a rite of passage involving the young Corcyraean élite.
