- The most significant passages from the works discovered by Archilochus (ancient text and Modern Greek translation).

- Contributions from notable Greek scholars discussing his personality, work, and era, included in Giannis Tritsimpidas's film "Archilochus of Paros".

- Also, the studies by Olympios Alifieris on Archilochus, examining aspects of his work.

- The poet of the 7th century BC, Archilochus, came from an important family of Paros that played a leading role in the colonization of Thasos, a family connected with the worship of Demeter, the protector of his homeland. He himself contributed to shaping the Dionysian religion on Paros and was a pioneer in the development of iambic poetry, which derives from the ancient jokes of mysterious and fertility cults.

- As a professional soldier of his homeland, the poet was also apparently a mercenary, traveler, and seafarer in his main occupation, as well as, by his own admission, an unfortunate lover.

- A sharp observer of human behavior and society, he in a way pioneered modern poetry by targeting the individual, common human passions and emotions, and romantic desire. (From the presentation on the back cover of the book)
