The Stele of Arniadas is an Archaic-period funerary stele in Corfu, Greece, found on the tomb of Arniadas, a warrior. It was intended to mark his grave and honour his memory by enumerating his bravery in a battle near the river Arachthos in the location of ancient Amvrakia, modern-day Arta. The stele was found in 1846 at the necropolis of the Corfu Palaiopolis in the suburb of Garitsa, near the Tomb of Menecrates, after a demolition of Venetian fortifications in the area by the British, who at the time ruled Corfu. The date of the stele is early 6th century BC.

  • The Stele of Arniadas is an Archaic-period funerary stele in Corfu, Greece, found on the tomb of Arniadas, a warrior. It was intended to mark his grave and honour his memory by enumerating his bravery in a battle near the river Arachthos in the location of ancient Amvrakia, modern-day Arta. The stele was found in 1846 at the necropolis of the Corfu Palaiopolis in the suburb of Garitsa, near the Tomb of Menecrates, after a demolition of Venetian fortifications in the area by the British, who at the time ruled Corfu. The date of the stele is early 6th century BC. The stele bears an epigram written vertically in verses following an alternating direction writing style called boustrophedon. The inscription describes the details of the death of warrior Arniadas in a battle near ships on the banks of the river Arachthos and praises the dead warrior's bravery. The Homeric hexameter of the verses, the proximity of the battle to ships, and the pompous style of the writing are clear indications that the inscription was influenced by the writings of Homer. Such inscriptions were common for that era, and exist in other funerary inscriptions in Corfu of that time. The Stele of Arniadas is exhibited at the Archaeological Museum of Corfu. (en)
  • La stèle d'Arniadas est une stèle funéraire de l’époque archaïque, du début VIe siècle av. J.-C., trouvée à Corfou, en Grèce, sur la tombe du guerrier Arniadas. La stèle servait à marquer sa tombe et à honorer sa mémoire en énumérant sa bravoure et ses hauts faits lors d'une bataille près du fleuve Arachthos, dans la région de l'ancienne Ambracie (en grec ancien : Ἀμϐρακία), l'actuelle Arta. La stèle porte une épigramme écrite verticalement en vers, suivant un style d'écriture à sens alterné appelé boustrophédon. L'inscription décrit les détails de la mort du guerrier Arniadas dans une bataille qui eut lieu près de navires, sur les rives du fleuve Arachthos et loue la bravoure du guerrier mort. Les vers en hexamètres homériques, la proximité de la bataille avec les navires et le style pompeux de l'écriture sont des indications claires que l'inscription a été influencée par les écrits d'Homère. De telles inscriptions étaient courantes à cette époque et existent dans d'autres inscriptions funéraires de Corfou. La stèle d'Arniadas est exposée au Musée archéologique de Corfou (fr)
