Archilochus’ Cologne Epode and Homer’s Quivering Spear (fr. 196a.52 IEG²)
- Abstract:
- In this note, I highlight a hitherto unrecognized literary resonance in the climactic final verses of Archilochus' First Cologne Epode: Archilochus parodically and subversively reworks the Homeric description of a quivering spear. This Homeric resonance caps the poem's ongoing clash between the generic conventions of epic and iambus, while also adding a further hint towards how we might read the poem's enigmatic close.
