Abstract
In a world where song had an embedded social position, poetry had a vital role to play in constructing and confirming or destabilizing and destroying reputation and social standing. Though Pindar, for his own programmatic reasons, chooses to see poetry of praise and blame (reified for him in its most famous exponent, Archilochos) as fundamentally opposed (Pythian 2.54–6), they share certain needs. My interest here is poetry of blame. To express hostility at the most basic level, all that is needed is the terminology of personal abuse, an approach in which Alkaios is particularly inventive. The problem is that abuse is ultimately limited both aesthetically and in terms of impact. It can briefly unite speaker and audience at the expense of the person or group held up to ridicule. But it neither engages the imagination nor reaches out beyond the already committed. To be effective, blame, like praise, needs to speak from a position of authority if it is to achieve its pragmatic goal. This article looks at one means of generating authority, narrative. It looks at the construction of characters and events in straight storytelling and the use of paradigmatic narratives of the physical and animal worlds and examines the way in which archaic blame poetry uses these to construct a social, moral, natural, and religious order as a means of positioning speaker, audience, and target. This construction of authority is important for the vertical as well as the horizontal positioning of poetry of blame, in that it eases the movement of poetry and poetic reputation into the Panhellenic mainstream.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
