I suppose we should be grateful for anything that turns up, but I confess I am disappointed that the ancient literature that has been being rediscovered recently is largely Menander, who wrote sort of the ancient equivalent of situation comedies. How much more exciting it would be to get new Aeschylus, say, or Sappho, or Aristotle (whose dialogues were still known to Cicero, and were said to be written in a better style than Plato's.)

Aristotle
whose dialogues were still known to Cicero, and were said to be written in a better style than Plato's. That wouldn't be hard. I have never found Plato a particularly enjoyable read, apart from is thoroughly rotten philosophy.
