    StromataLate Antiquity · Greek

    Greek iambic poet, cited as an example of shameless writing.

    Are we, then, to allow Theopompus and Timaeus to compose fables and slanders, and Epicurus besides, the founder of atheism, and Hipponax and Archilochus to write with such shamelessness, and yet forbid the man who proclaims the truth to leave behind a benefit for those who come after?
    book 1
    Indeed, Archilochus of Paros devised the iambus, and Hipponax of Ephesus the limping iambus;
    book 1
    but Callinus is older by not much, for Archilochus mentions the Magnesians as destroyed, while Callinus mentions them as prosperous.
    book 1

    OrationsImperial · Greek

    Greek poet known for blame and invective, contrasted favorably with Homer's poetry of praise.

    But Archilochus, who I say pleased Apollo, speaking about a general says thus:
    oration 33
    What Homer, then, or what Archilochus is strong enough to sing away these evils?
    oration 33
    But Archilochus came to the opposite, to blame, seeing, I think, that men needed this more, and first he blames himself.
    oration 33

    On the Nature of the GodsHellenistic · Latin

    Greek poet cited as an example figure in the critique of Epicurean image theory.

    For what is less to be approved than that the images of all men fall upon me — Homer, Archilochus, Romulus, Numa, Pythagoras, Plato — and not in the form they had:
    book 1
    For neither did he whom the iambic of Hipponax had wounded, or who was hurt by the verse of Archilochus, contain a grief sent in by a god and not conceived by himself;
    book 3

    De legendis gentilium librisLate Antiquity · Greek

    Iambic poet whose fable of the fox is invoked as an image of cunning flattery to be avoided.

    Shall we, indeed, despise wealth and dishonour the pleasures of the senses, but pursue flattery and fawning, and emulate the craft and cunning of Archilochus' fox?
    de legendis gentilium libris

    On Moral EndsHellenistic · Latin

    Greek lyric poet

    But let us survey in our minds not these greatest arts — for lacking which men were by our ancestors called good-for-nothing — but I ask whether you think that — I do not say Homer, Archilochus, Pindar, but Phidias, Polyclitus, Zeuxis directed their arts to pleasure.
    book 2

    Tusculan DisputationsHellenistic · Latin

    Greek poet said to have lived during the reign of Romulus.

    For while among the Greeks the most ancient class of the learned is that of the poets — since Homer and Hesiod lived before the founding of Rome, and Archilochus in the reign of Romulus — we Romans took up poetry later.
    book 1

    The HistoriesClassical · Greek

    Greek iambic poet who lived around the time of Gyges and mentioned him in his verses

    He is mentioned in the iambic verses of Archilochus of Parus who lived about the same time.
    chapter 1

    PythianClassical · Greek

    The historical Greek satirical poet, cited here as a cautionary example of poetry driven by invective and hatred.

    For I have seen, long before me, abusive Archilochus often in a helpless state, fattening himself with strong words and hatred.
    chapter 2

    RepublicClassical · Greek

    Greek poet whose 'fox' image is invoked as a figure for shifty, self-interested cunning.

    For a front and a show I must draw about myself a shadow-line of virtue, but trail behind me the fox of most sage Archilochus, shifty and bent on gain.
