What is Archilochus : the Poems : Introduction, Text, Translation, and Commentary about?

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 Is Largely Due To The Fragmentary State Of His Surviving Poetry, Though Our Knowledge Has Expanded Significantly Since The Middle Of The Twentieth Century As New Papyrological Finds Continue To Augment The Corpus And Our Understanding Of The Poet And His Work Evolves. This Volume Is The First Ever Complete Commentary On Archilochus, Filling A Substantial Gap In Scholarship On Archaic Greek Poetry And Playing An Important And Timely Role In Re-establishing Him As A Major Author And In Locating The Recent Discoveries In The Broader Context Of His Oeuvre. Presenting The Fragmentary Texts Alongside Brand New Translations, The Volume Also Contains A Comprehensive Introduction Offering An Accessible Guide To Archilochus' Work And Context, And A Detailed Commentary Providing Textual, Literary, And Historical Analysis Of All Of His Surviving Poetry And Discussing Broader Questions Of Performance And Genre In Early Greek Poetic Culture. The Scope And Depth Of The Analysis Not Only Highlights The Diversity And Sophistication Of Archilochu
