My Soul, my Soul, all disturbed by sorrows inconsolable, bear up, hold out, meet front-on the many challenges against you; now from this side and now that, enduring all such strife up close, never be wavering; and should you be victorious, don't openly exult, nor, defeated, throw yourself lamenting laying in a heap, but delight in things that are delightful and, in hard times, grieve not too much — appreciate the rhythm that controls men's lives. θυμέ, θύμ᾽ ἀμηχάνοισι κήδεσιν κυκώμενε, ἄνα δέ, δυσμενέων δ᾽ ἀλέξευ προσβαλὼν ἐναντίον στέρνον, ἐν δοκοῖσιν ἐχθρῶν πλησίον κατασταθείς ἀσφαλέως· καὶ μήτε νικῶν ἀμφαδὴν ἀγάλλεο μηδὲ νικηθεὶς ἐν οἴκωι καταπεσὼν ὀδύρεο. ἀλλὰ χαρτοῖσίν τε χαῖρε καὶ κακοῖσιν ἀσχάλα μὴ λίην· γίνωσκε δ᾽ οἷος ῥυσμὸς ἀνθρώπους ἔχει. fr. 128, quoted by Stobaeus (3.20.28), A warrior, seafarer, lover and poet, he had a hero cult on Paros Island that lasted over 800 years. --------- The papyrus fragment of this sample of Arkhilokhos' Iambic poetry is from Oxyrynchos: "P.Oxy. VI 854" Published in 1908 by The Egypt Exploration Fund - B.P. Grenfell & A.S. Hunt, The Oxyrhynchus Papyri: Part VI (London: The Egypt Exploration Fund, 1908). The coin in the front image is a "silver stater obverse - Thasos Met L.1999.19.71" and credit for the image goes to Marie-Lan Nguyen (2011). This is an attempt at Reconstructed Ancient Greek, not Erasmian pronunciation.
