Discovery of ancient Greek shepherd’s graffiti rewrites Athens history

Now, researchers have found graffiti drawn by a shepherd named“Mikon” who lived in the 6th century BC, which depicts a temple on the Acropolis predating the Parthenon.

By signing his drawing using particular alphabets, Mikon has allowed the graffiti to be dated.
