With its focus on personal emotion and everyday life, Archilochus' work continues to offer insights into what it means to be human. With 70 pages of content, this paperback edition is an ideal starting point for anyone interested in ancient Greek poetry or looking to explore the works of a lesser-known but significant poet.
