    For the Classicists among us:
    "
    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.

    Found near the ruined Temple of Zeus in the ancient city of Olympia, the tablet has been dated to Roman times.

    It is engraved with 13 verses from the poem recounting the adventures of the hero Odysseus after the fall of Troy.

    The tale was probably composed by Homer in the late 8th Century BC.

    Mount Olympus was the home of the gods. Similar name but a different place, about 500 km away from the ancient city of Olympia. Olympia is where the Olympic Games were held.
