Theocritus, Epigram 21 Gow
(Redirected from Theocritus, Epigram 21 Gow)
Ἀρχίλοχον καὶ στᾶθι καὶ εἴσιδε τὸν πάλαι ποιητάν
τὸν τῶν ἰάμβων, οὗ τὸ μυρίον κλέος
διῆλθε κἠπὶ νύκτα καὶ ποτ’ ἀῶ.
ἦ ῥά νιν αἱ Μοῖσαι καὶ ὁ Δάλιος ἠγάπευν Ἀπόλλων,
5 ὣς ἐμμελής τ’ ἐγένετο κἠπιδέξιος
ἔπεά τε ποιεῖν πρὸς λύραν τ’ ἀείδειν.
Stop and look at Archilochus, a poet of old, one of iambic verses, whose immeasurable fame spreads from the night and into the morning. The Muses and Delian Apollo love him, as he is musical and clever at creating verses and singing on the lyre.
