Additional quotes by Archilochus of Paros

Like the Mykonians, Perikles,
you drink our unmixed wine
and pay for nothing.
You broke into this party, uninvited,
and act as if among old friends.
Your stomach has tricked the brains in your skull
and now you are shameless.

The fox has many tricks. The hedgehog has but one, but that is the best of all.

She is a common woman for rent,
but what sensuality and fat ankles.
O fat whore for hire!

Her breasts and her dark hair were perfume and even an old man would desire her. - Archilochus of Paros
