In answer to flavias question:
Archilochos was ilegitimate son, minor thief, initially overconfident mercenary. Borrowed things without returning and iresponsible.
He was like the 19th century cursed poets like Byron, Dawson and pother who died from a combination of alcahol syfilis and tubrculosis.
Archilochos just paved the way 2000 years before.
He was Naxian in origin not Spartan.
Pausanias mentions about gis end and his grave at Beotika
Kind regards
