Ancient Homer pictures discovered in tomb

A 2500-year-old sarcophagus with colour illustrations from Homer's epics has been discovered in western Cyprus.

The tomb features Ulysses in scenes from Iliad and Odyssey.

In one 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.
