Jul 16, 2018 by News Staff / Source
 

The clay tablet, inscribed around 200-300 CE (Roman era), was unearthed near the Temple of Zeus in the ancient city of Olympia, southern Greece.

The find was made by Dr. Kolia Erofili-Irida, director of the Ephorate of Antiquities of Ilia, and archaeologists from the Universities of Tübingen, Darmstadt, and Frankfurt am Mainz, and the German Institute of Archaeology.

The tablet contains 13 verses from the 14th book of Homer’s 12,109-line epic poem.
