Life Archilochus belongs to the Aegean end to the coventh century before {te birth of Christ. He moved between the island of Parcs and its emote colony on Thasos, living as a soldier and composing short songs ‘nhich the arclent world valued with the books of Homer Because of Fis murderous tongue, he was said to have invented the seuriious Fambie made; he wae’ the Arst to have “dipped a bitter Muse ia suke-venom and stained gentle Helicon with blond’ (AP 1.71) and for this he vas much admired. Not many af hie songe ware known, even {in antiquity, but che sense was strong that he had been the founder tf a_genre, and he remained, throughout the Renaissance, as the (gateian genius of the European satirist. In recent times, however, ‘Arcilechus has been the sulject of another soot of smiration, for ‘modishly erade translations have made him the brother of certain fontemporary poets, while scholars have set him at the opening of theit histories of the so-called Western mind.

These carried an extensive taxt (re. fed to as the Mnesiepes inscription, or elae as E, for the place of finding, neex the river Hlitas) which begins with an Apolline command given to a man of the third century nc. whoae name was Nnesiepes.

The elder traditions donot put him in any way at edda with society: on the eontrars, they provide him with the to motifs that were proper to poets of the most august and prophetic kind — divine backing and a supernatural voeation, Late ‘antiquity knew a tradition about an orasle given before bis birt, promising him poetie glory (AP 14.113; Dio Chys. $8.12, van Ami £300), and the inscription ffom the chir-century shrive recount an erly version ofthe same, prefacing it with a fol-tale that malkes its Hote into w kind of infant Hesiod, ‘wedi Soup: See ato K.

Instead, he becomes one who ‘sill sings the age-old popular concerns ofa primitive community. ‘The transformation of tesh-and:-bood enemies inta the shadows of effigies thus offers a refreshing release from the excessively personal reading that has been given to Archilochean poetry, and luckily that ‘olease may still be enjoyed even by those who would trade the most extreme detsils of this theory for something more moderate, That some alterations will have to bo made seems obvious, for the Mine Siepes stone, after al, tells us that a Lyeambes who was associated ‘with the father of Archilochus played a role in the settlement of ‘Thasos, How could the WoltWalker figure from a village pantomine have elbowed his way, in Tess than five hundred years, tothe history ofthe city's proudest edventure?

Surely i better to suppose that the man Lyeembes did exist ast an the later Parians believed, while we nevertheless ‘admit that much ofthe scorn that Archilochus lavished upon him was ofa traditional sort, A man with such a ame would be a ready target for an abusive poot who liked to exploit animal fables as a mode of attack, and it looks as if he was used as the frequent representative of whatever mascalive falling the poet wished to condemn.!* Once he had been so defined, female transgressions could ofcourse be attrib fed to the daughters of such a one, and a system of living ciphers ‘would bogin to take shape. Lycambet the man may, im this way, have bocome Archilochus’ private searocrow, his ideal enemy, the focus of all sorts of enlumny, and therefore a natural eentre of speculation among the poet's later imitators and biographers. ‘The nooses that fished off Lycambos and his daughters may have been the fr invention ofa lesened admirer, since they were the faa proof of the faree of Archilochus’ worl It may be, onthe other hand, "the tne iveen pune and shail etv iat loys sary dees 1 Ramin, Sad th Sera Chia 2 5.
