D'Ohmeric Discovery*
The Random Penseur flags an AP article today about the recent discovery on Cyprus of a 2500 year old sarcophagus decorated with various Homeric images. Apparently, the artwork on this sarcophagus is the best of its kind yet unearthed.
I love this kind of thing. Go on over to RP's place for the full details.
(*Sorry, sorry. Couldn't resist.)

That's ok, Robert. When I saw the blurb headline and read it very quickly, I first thought, "that's impossible; Homer Simpson wasn't even conceived of yet!" *sigh* Its a gift, really.
