Classical Follies?

I don't know what to make of this.

Earlier this week I relayed at article about new advances made in deciphering the Oxyrhynchus papyri and their potential for unlocking a vast new horde of previously lost classical texts.

Now the Warrior Monk over at Spitbull has uncovered a writer in the field who argues that the original story is blowing things way out of proportion.

As I say, I don't know.

UPDATE: Dean's got the original U.K. Independent article, as well as a follow on by Slate (not that this would be a ringing endorsement of credibility).
