A clay tablet discovered during an archaeological dig may be the oldest written record of Homer's epic tale, the Odyssey, ever found in Greece, the country's culture ministry has said.

Perhaps the scrawls of a student practicing his writing.
Awesome.
Someday in the far future, archeologists will dig up a print of “Oh Brother Where Art Thou” and declare it Homer Odyssey, Oldest extract discovered.
They didn't worry about plagiarism, so it kept getting improved down the years.
WOW! What a find!!!
Wow!
Amazing. I love all the Greek stuff, but the Odyssey is in a class of it’s own.
Wily Odysseus, faithful Penelope, monsters, trips to the Underworld. Truly the best of the Classics.
Thanks as always for the great posts!
(and of course, those Sirens...Tim Buckley had something to say about that!)
Thanks, SunkenCiv!
