## Bio

Archilochus lived on Paros in the seventh century BC, somewhere around 680 to 645. While his contemporaries sang of gods and heroes, he broke the mold: he wrote about his own emotions and experiences, making himself the center of the poem. He worked in iambic meter with a flexibility no one had shown before, bending form to fit feeling. The innovation stuck. What survives of his work is fragments, but the shift he made—verse as confession, as personal record—echoes forward through every poet since who ever wrote "I."
