The gods never forget the important people even after they die.

Aelian, Natural History
Critias accuses Archilochus of slandering himself. ‘If’ says he ‘Archilochus had not published such an account of himself abroad in Greece, we should never have known that he was the son of the slavewoman Enipo, nor that through poverty and perplexity he left Paros for Thasos, nor what when he arrived there he quarrelled with the inhabitants; and more, we should not know, had he not told us himself, that he was an adulterer, nor lecherous and wantonly violent, nor worst of all, that he threw away his shield; and thus, according to him, Archilochus was but a poor witness in his own behalf, leaving all this fame behind him.

Suidas s.v. Archilochos
The gods never forget the important people even after they die. Archilochos at any rate was a noble poet in most respects, if one overlooks his shameful speech and his foul utterances, just as one might wash away a stain. The Pythian god took pity on him even when he was dead, and even though he died in war, where supposedly Enyalios was even-handed. When the one who had killed him, Kalondas by name, but nicknamed Crow [Korax], came to Delphi to ask the god about what he needed, the Pythia would not approach him, as he was accursed, but instead pronounced, allegedly, those frequently-quoted verses. He, however, put forward an argument about the fortunes of war and said that what he did came at a turning point between taking action or being acted upon. He asked that the god not be hostile to him if he lived by his own spirit, and he swore that it was more a case of him not dying than of killing anyone. And at this the god took pity on him and bade him go to Tainaron, where Tettix was buried, and to appease the soul of the son of Telesikles and conciliate him with libations. He followed these instructions and gained freedom from the wrath of the god. And there is a proverb: “you are treading on Archilochos”, in reference to those who engage in foul speech and abuse.

Scholiast on Horace’s Epodes
“Beware, beware! I’m a tough fellow with horns ready for the wicked, like him to whom the false Lycambes would not give his daughter, or him that was so fierce a foe to Bupalus.” He means Archilochos, who attacked Lykambes so bitterly with abusive verses that he committed suicide. Archilochos attacked him because he denied him his daughter’s hand after promising it.

Eustathius, On the Odyssey
It should be noted that literature has many cases of self-hanging for grief, and this was the death, according to the old story, of the daughters of Lykambes, who could not withstand the onslaught of the satire of Archilochos.

[Longinus], On the Sublime
. . . Would you therefore rather be Apollonius than Homer? Again, Eratosthenes in the Erigone in every respect a flawless little poem, —is he a greater poet than Archilochus, who carries along with his flood so much which is lacking in arrangement and yet comes from the almost uncontrollable inflow of the divine spirit?

Marius Victorinus, Art of Grammar
A foot less and it will be the ithyphallic, which was invented by Archilochus and consists of three trochees, e.g. Bacche plaude Bacche, a rhythm composed, they say, by the poet in honour of the God herein addressed.
