This sentence is inaccurate: "Also, the lost play Achilles by Aeschylus was rediscovered in 2003." Achilles was originally a trilogy, not a single play. A restored version was staged in Greece in 2003, not discovered. The restored version was put together out of fragments of the trilogy to form a single play. MOst of those fragments have been extant for decades, not recently discovered. Part of it was discovered wrapping a mummy in Egypt, but I have not been able to find out which part. Unfortunately, I don't know enough details to rewrite the sentence myself.
