Solving an 8th degree polynomial

$\begingroup$

I know that through the Abel Ruffini Theorem the general solution to a polynomial of degree five or more cannot be found explicitly. But are there are any other ways to find the roots of such a polynomial besides exhaustive methods like Newton's Method? The question of finding such roots arose when trying to find the the y maximum of the unit lemniscate.
