Graeme Bird examines a small group of early papyrus manuscripts of Homer's Iliad , known as the Ptolemaic papyri, which are the oldest surviving physical evidence of the Iliad , dating from the third to the first centuries BCE. This book analyzes the papyri's unusual readings and shows that they present authentic variations on the Homeric text.
