		Archilochus was the illegitimate son of a noble father.
		Perhaps as a result of this rebuff Archilochus went to live in Thasos, where he seems to have become a soldier of fortune, later serving in Thrace and other places and composing his poetry as he served.
		Archilochus was the first extant Greek poet who employed the elegiac couplet and the various iambic and trochaic metres (from the dimeter to the tetrameter).

	Archaic Period - Culture - Elegy and Iambus
		Archilochus of Paros is undoubtedly the most important of the lyric poets and his posthumous fame was great.
		Archilochus often used the first person and led some scholars to think that his poetry was autobiographical.
		Apparently Archilochus played certain roles, among which were those of the professional soldier and the lover, a usual phenomenon in the folk culture and the oral tradition.

		Archilochus was born into a prominent family on the island of Paros.
		Archilochus' attitude to war is very different from that evinced by Homer: in some ways Archilochus seems to go out of his way to emphasize his disagreement with the austere, idealistic picture of war found in the Iliad.

		Whereas Apollo's relationship to Archilochus and to Aesop in the Lives is ambivalent, that of the Muses is not; rather, it appears to be one-sidedly beneficent.
		Archilochus thinks that they are rustic women leaving the fields and heading for the city; he draws near and "ridicules" them (lines 29-30: skôptein),[4] but the Muses respond with playful laughter (lines 30-31).
		Moreover, the poetry of Archilochus and its transmission also are rooted in cult, as we have seen from the poet's traditional concept of himself as "therapôn of the Muses" (Archilochus fr.

	Science Fair Projects - Epode
		When, with the appearance of Stesichorus and the evolution of choral lyric, a learned and artificial kind of poetry began to be cultivated in Greece, a new form, the epode-song, came into existence.
		It consisted of a verse of trimeter iambic, followed by a dimeter iambic, and it is reported that, although the epode was carried to its highest perfection by Stesichorus, an earlier poet, Archilochus, was really the inventor of this form.
		As he was imitating Archilochus in form, he believed himself justified, no doubt, in repeating the sarcastic violence of his fierce model.

		Though some of the lyric poets were known to have been politically active, and even the philosopher, Socrates, recalled serving in the Athenian infantry, Archilochus is the only warrior-poet known to us.
		The tasks of warrior and poet were not always considered at odds--Homer has even Achilles singing tunes to the accompaniment of his lyre in the Iliad (Book IX).
		Archilochus, though later than either of the epics, may have written the first poem in the series because he was aware that his accomplishments are somewhat unusual.

		And the people of his native Paros made it clear, when they honored him with a monument, that they thought him a great poet in spite of his nettle tongue.
		Of the man himself we know that he was born on Paros in the Cyclades in the first half of the seventh century BC.

		We possess about thirty fragments of his iambic poems, written in clear and vigorous Ionic, with much force and no little harmony of versification.
		With Simonides, as with Archilochus of Paros, the iambic is still the vehicle of bitter satire, interchanging with melancholy, but in Simonides the satire is rather general than individual.
		His "Pedigree of Women" may have been suggested by the beast fable, as we find it in Hesiod and Archilochus, and as it recurs a century later in Phocylides; it is clear at least that Simonides knew the works of the former.

	Archilochos' context (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Archilochos lived in Paros, an island in the Cylades, during the 7th century BCE, so he was writing about 200 years before the heyday of Athens and Classical Greece.
		It is hardly surprising then that we have no contemporary biography or other information about his life apart from what he tells us in his poems, plus information derived in later antiquity from other material that has now been lost.
		In the second chapter of 'Archilochus of Paros' H D Rankin discusses these issues.

		But the ancients called a combination of verse-periods a system, and gave the name strophe to such a system only when it was repeated once or more in unmodified form.
		It is said that Archilochus first created the strophe by binding together systems of two or three lines.
		But it was the Greek ode-writers who introduced the practice of strophe-writing on a large scale, and the art was attributed to Stesichorus, although it is probable that earlier poets were acquainted with it.
