Sarcophagus with Homer’s Iliad and Oddsey Found in Cyprus.

From the website:

A 2,500-year-old sarcophagus with vivid color illustrations from Homer’s epics has been discovered in western Cyprus, archaeologists said Monday.

Experts believe the ornate decoration features the hero Ulysses in scenes from Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey — both hugely popular throughout the Greek world.

In one large painting, Ulysses and his comrades escape from the blind Cyclops Polyphemos’ cave, hidden under a flock of sheep. Another depicts a battle between Greeks and Trojans from the Iliad.
