The Telephus fragment and flight in Archilochus

Abstract

The new fragment (Papyrus Oxyrhinchus LXIX 4708) of Archilochus of Paros first edited by Dirk Obbink (2006), which tells the myth of Telephus, brought new questions about a well-known topic of Archilochus: the flight. Hence, we aim in this article to make a brief analysis of how this fragment can influence the comprehension of this topic in Archilochus, especially, in comparison with the fragment 5 of Martin West’s critical edition (1992).
