	poetrymagazines.org.uk - The First 'I'
		Born the bastard son of a Parian noble towards the end of the 8th Century BC, he was a freelance soldier who died in battle at a relatively early age; he was also the earliest lyric poet and one of Europe a first individual voices.
		Archilochos is the first poet we know of to cast away the social and tribal conventions of epic poetry and place himself and his experience firmly in the centre of his poetry; his is the first “I”.
		But as with all classic Greek poetry, the greatest problem in translating Archilochos is finding an acceptable substitute metre; a slavish imitation of the original iambic is fatal, but it is equally fatal to abandon any attempt at rhythm.

		First excavated by two Oxford archeologists in the late 19th Century, the hoard of papyrus from Oxyrhynchus has long been a source of fascination and frustration for scholars: Fascination because it holds some of the lost masterpieces of classical literature, frustration because much of it is in such poor condition it's impossible to read.
		In the past few weeks alone, researchers have succeeded in deciphering a 70-line fragment from a lost tragedy by Sophocles and a 30-line fragment from Archilochos, a Greek soldier-poet who chronicled the Trojan Wars.
