This paper will fall into two parts. In the first part I discuss the political role of some Epodes of Archilochus. The second part of the paper adds some suggestions concerning Archilochus’ use of an iambic trimeter poem and a piece of elegiac poetry in a way that seems more related to his private than his public life. Both parts of the paper advance interpretations which are easier to reconcile with the hypothesis that individuals named in Archilochus’ iambi are real people than with their being stock characters, as has sometimes been suggested.1
