An ad that has been played to many as resounding , and that even the Republic had raised. But someone in the ministry must have made a mistake: the tablet actually dates back to the 3rd century, but there are Egyptian papyri with the text of the Odyssey that date back to three centuries before the birth of Christ , or 600 years ago. An error also highlighted by many users and readers of the Republic.
The Odyssey was composed orally around the 11th century. BC and then transcribed from the eighth. Fragments in Egypt were found on the parchment and these are currently the oldest.
The 13 verses found on the Olimpia tablet tell of the return of the sage Ulysses after the Trojan War told in the Iliad. The extract is taken from the fourteenth of the 24 books of the Odyssey and was found near the remains of the Temple of Zeus. The tablet was born after three years of excavations conducted by the Greek Archaeological Service, in cooperation with the German Institute of Archeology.
