Additional quotes by Archilochus of Paros

Many of them, I hope, will be dried up
by the sharp rays of the sun in its zenith,
by the sun in the time of the Dog Star.

Glaukos, soldier of fortune, will be your friend
until he begins to fight.

I don't like a general
who towers over the troops,
lordly with elegant locks
and trim mustachios.
Give me a stumpy soldier
glaringly bowlegged,
yet rockfirm on his feet,
and in his heart a giant.

The fox knows many tricks, the hedgehog only one. A good one. - Archilochus of Paros
