Abstract

The aim of this paper is to examine the ways in which the poetic speaker manifests itself in the iambic poetry of Archilochus of Paros (7th century BC) and its possible functions within the poetic performance. In more specific terms, from a discursive analysis, we analyze the ways in which the first and the second person are deictically inscribed in ff. 19, 122, 196 and 196aW, and the identity relations that are established between the different actants of the enuncive and enunciative levels. In short, it is concluded that it is possible to observe a process of masking the poetic speaker linked, probably, to criticism and iambic invective.
