Archilochus was a Greek lyric poet in the Archaic period and was highly regarded by the ancient Greeks as one of their most brilliant authors.

This illuminated manuscript is handwritten in Greek minuscule perlschrift (based on the style in the late Byzantine era), with hand drawings illustration on high quality paper (emulating parchment paper) using a dip pen (metal nib) and acrylic ink.

It bears the original signature of the artist, date and place created, as well as a small gold colored Capricorn stamp seal.

An autograph note written in Greek and English is attached to this illuminated manuscript with information about the script, materials used, source of text and illustrations, and any other Additional Information: considered necessary by the artist regarding authenticity.

The Ancient Greek text:

Γλαῦχ᾽ ὅρα• βαθὺς γὰρ ἤδη κύμασιν ταράσσεται
πόντος, ἀμφὶ δ᾽ ἄκρα Γυρέων ὀρθὸν ἵσταται νέφος,
σῆμα χειμῶνος• κιχάνει δ᾽ ἐξ ἀελπτίης φόβος.
 

The English text translation:

“Look, Glaucus; the waves e'en now run high, and upright about the tops of the Gyrae stands a cloud, the token of a storm; fear cometh of the unexpected.”
