In antiquity Archilochus of Paros was considered a poet rivalled only by Homer and Hesiod, yet he has been relatively neglected by modern scholarship. This first complete commentary on his work provides textual, literary, and historical analysis of all of his surviving poetry alongside the fragmentary texts and brand new translations.
