		The point remains, then, that Archilochean blame poetry against Lykambes and his daughters is a stylized poetic form, with strict formal regulation of narrative and of dialogue quoted within the narrative; also, that the personification of the composer and that of his targets is similarly stylized within the narrative and dialogue.

		An essential factor, I submit, is the archaic cult of Archilochus at Paros (see Ch.18§1, esp. n1); this factor also accounts for the Life of Archilochus tradition, which I view as a development parallel to the transmission of the poetry itself (see Ch.18§4).

	SparkNotes: The Birth of Tragedy: Chapters 5 & 6
		Homer is the great Apollonian naive artist, whereas Archilochus (writing in the sixth century) is a passionate and furious lyric poet.
		The idea that Archilochus is a subjective poet stems from the incorrect believe that lyric poetry is egocentric, when in fact it represents the Dionysian consciousness.
		What makes Archilochus so different from Homer is the fact that lyric is essentially the poetry of folk-song, wherein "language is strained to its utmost that it may imitate music." Here it stands in contrast to Homer, whose language strives to imitate image and phenomenon, i.e.

	Note to "Abantian Warriors" by Archilochus, tr. Sherod Santos (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Considered by many to be the inventor of the Greek elegy, Archilochus is doubtless one of three poets (Callinus and Tyrtaeus being the other two) to hold that distinction.
		Regardless, it would be hard to overestimate his importance in the history of the lyric poem, for he affected its future in at least two significant ways.
		Having claimed for poetry the domain of everyday life, and having vested that poetry with the force of social commentary, Archilochus endowed the lyric poem with a limitless capacity for self-renewal, a capacity that helped to ensure its place – and, indeed, its centrality – in the future of Western literature.

	THE HEDGEHOG AND THE FOX - The New York Review of Books
		My point is that it is this reading of the Archilochus epigram that has held sway since Berlin used it many years ago: when people refer to "the hedgehog and the fox" these days, they are usually referring to this contrasting approach to the world.
		Yet when we look closer at the original Archilochus, or rather at some other translations, the issue is not so clear.
		As to why we all should be concerned, it is because the Berlin version of the Archilochus is referred to several times a year in journals such as this—in the sense, that is, that there are two different ways of knowing reality, not fighting enemies, and that both ways are of at least equal value.
