A considerable amount of information about the life of Archilochus has come down to the modern age via his surviving work, the testimony of other authors and inscriptions on monuments,[4] yet it all needs to be viewed with caution – the biographical tradition is generally unreliable and the fragmentary nature of the poems doesn't really support inferences about his personal history.[12] The vivid language and intimate details of the poems often look autobiographical[8][13] yet it is known, on the authority of Aristotle, that Archilochus sometimes role-played.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-1471.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-1471.txt
