1700-Year-Old Fragment of Homer's 'Odyssey' Discovered in Utrecht
A tiny fragment of Homer's 'Odyssey', dating back nearly 1700 years, has been discovered at the University Library of Utrecht. The fragment, measuring around 6.6 x 7.7 cm, contains verses from Book XII of the epic, describing a crucial moment when Helios, the god of the Sun, discovers that Odysseus' companions have sacrificed and eaten his sacred cattle. This discovery is significant as only around thirty comparable fragments from that period are known worldwide.
