Archaeologists may have come across the oldest known extract of Homer’s Odyssey

Almost alluding to a poetic note, a clay plaque found in Olympia – the home to ancient Olympics and feats of athleticism, might just pertain to the oldest known extract of Homer’s epic poem Odyssey. The potential discovery was made courtesy of the three-year-long The Multidimensional Site of Olympia project, a collaborative effort from researchers at Ilia regional unit Ephorate of Antiquities, German Archaeological Institute and the Universities of Darmstadt, Tübingen, and Frankfurt am Mainz.
