Preliminarly, it presents clarifying historical features of the political, social and economic conditions of the Greek cities in the archaic period in order to place Theognis of Megara, the poet, in a given historical context. It contains biographical information about the controversial poet and data concerning the complex matter of authenticity of the work which is attributed to him. From the whole translation of the Corpus Theognideum, it analyzes the elegiac lines that deal with the political and economic life of the pólis, the social relations and love relationships, between an older man, an erastes, and a teenager, an erômenos, in order to show that the Theognidea reflect the aristocratic ideology in the ancient Greece. It also establishes intertextual relations between some lines of the corpus and the poetic work of the archaic period, trying to point out the similarities inherited from the tradition and the different attitudes in relation to the subjects that were dealt with.

Píndaro (518-438 a.C.), poeta que se notabilizou como cultor de epinícios – cantos triunfais compostos, em geral, em honra dos vencedores das principais competições pan-helênicas –, celebrou na ode Olímpica 9, composta em 466 a.C., a vitória de Efarmosto de Opunte, na luta, por ocasião da 78a Olimpíada realizada em 468 a.C. Nessa ode, privilegia-se o mito do dilúvio, cujos protagonistas são Deucalião e Pirra, ancestrais míticos dos Lócrios de Opunte, cidade do laureado. Esse epinício foi cantado durante o cortejo processional que se dirigiu ao santuário de Ájax, herói cultuado em Opunte.
