Found by Ancient Greek lecturer Mark de Kreij, the tiny scrap (about the size of a playing card) contains verses from Book 12 where Odysseus’s crew eats sacred cattle, triggering disaster. Scholars believe it dates to Egypt’s 3rd or 4th century and survived thanks to being sandwiched between book pages. Its discovery coincides with renewed public fascination sparked by the new Odyssey film, proving how timeless this myth remains—and how even the smallest relics can bridge millennia.
