Archilochus
(redirected from Archilocus)

    Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Archilochus

Greek poet. Born on the island of Paros, he wrote the earliest Greek personal poetry, concentrating on themes of war and sexuality. He is disarmingly frank on both topics, but also prone to personal invective.

He wrote in the iambic metre, which was later used for tragedy. Only fragments of his work survive.
