tional dactyles, which do not end in trachees. They are not measured by dipodies, and may usually be recognized by the caesura. The thesis seems to be rarely contracted, and the substitution of the dactyle and proceleusmatic could not be allowed on account of the irrational arsis. The grammarians class also Trim. dactyl. cat. in disyll. with the anacrusis, which they call έφθημιμερές, among the cyclic anapaests, either because in some poets, it might in reality take also the anapaestic anacrusis, or because such verses as Ἐρέω, πολὺ φίλταθ' ἑταίρων, where ἐρέω, φιλέειν are to be read as dissyllables, led to the mistaken supposition that the verse begins with the anapaestic anacrusis. As an example of such a cyclic-anapaestic verse, Hephaestion cites from Archilochus: Ἐρασμονίδη Χαρίλαε, and with a long anacrusis: Δήμητρί τε χεῖρας ἀνέξων. With such lighter anapaests, the iambic and anapaestic logaoedic rhythms akin to them, seem very readily to have been intermingled. As an example of such cyclic anapaests, Hermann correctly cites Luc. Tragopod. 190-202, and Arist. Av. 1313— 1322. Ταχὺ δ ̓ ἂν πολυάνορα τὰν πόλιν Τύχη μόνον προσείη. Κατέχουσι δ ̓ ἔρωτες ἐμᾶς πόλεως. Θάττον φέρειν κελεύω. Τί γὰρ οὐκ ἔνι ταύτῃ Καλὸν ἀνδρὶ μετοικεῖν; Σοφία, Πόθος, ἀμβρόσιαι Χάριτες, Τό τε τῆς ἀγανόφρονος Ησυχίας Εὐάμερον πρόσωπον. The same law which we have applied to these, holds with respect to the logaoedic anapaests, which in general are less common than the dactylic: namely, that a logaoedic series cannot have more than six feet, and therefore the number of the anapaests is in the inverse proportion to that of the iambs. The most common are the following. (1) Logaoedic series with a simple anapaest. The former occurs sometimes singly, as Pind. Nem. VI. Epod. 6. Νεμέα δὲ τρίς, sometimes in combination with other rhythms, as Pind. Olymp. XIII. 5. Πρόθυρον Ποτειδᾶνος, ἀγλαόκουρον. The latter is not distinguished from the Dimet. anapaest. Τό τ' ἔπειτα καὶ τὸ μέλλον καὶ τὸ πρὶν ἐπαρκέσει. The former is found but seldom, as Aristoph. Thesm. 312. Δεχόμεσθα καὶ θεῶν γένος, the latter more frequently, as Aesch. Agam. 691, 692. Προκαλυμμάτων ἔπλευσε Such a verse must not be confounded with an Anacreontic. (d) anapaesticus simplex quadrupliciter iambicus. acatalectus. catalecticus. The former seems not to occur; the latter is found, as Pind. Olymp. IV. 9. Χαρίτων ἕκατι τόνδε κώμον. (2) Logaoedic series with double anapaest. The latter is not distinguished from the Tripodia anap. cat. (b) Anapaesticus duplex dupliciter iambicus. acatalectus. catalecticus. Eur. Electr. 586. Κατέλαμψας, ἔδειξας ἐμφανῆ. Aesch. Prom. 548. Ολιγοδρανίαν ἄκικυν. Pind. Pyth. X. 6. Αγαγεῖν ἐπικωμίαν ἀνδρῶν κλυτὰν ὅπα. The catalectic only appears to have been used, as Aesch. Prom. 546. Τίς ἐφαμερίων ἄρηξις; οὐδ ̓ ἐδέρχθης. Pind. Fragm. Hyporch. 2. Ὃς ἁμαξοφόρητον οἶκον οὐ πέπαται. (3) Logaoedic series with triple anapaest. (a) Anapaesticus triplex simpliciter iambicus. acatalectus. catalecticus. Lucian used the acatalectic mingled with the catalectic, Tragopod. v. 87. sqq. Once, in a proper name, he has a spondee in the catalectic verse: Μοῖρα Κλωθώ τότ' ἔλουσεν. Elsewhere the acatalectic verse is also found singly, as Arist. Thesm. 367. Ασεβοῦσ ̓, ἀδικοῦσί τε τὴν πόλιν. The catalectic verse is not distinguished from the tetram. anap. catal. (b) Anapaesticus triplex dupliciter iambicus. acatalectus. catalecticus. Arist. Αν. 451. Δολερὸν μὲν ἀεὶ κατὰ πάντα δὴ τρόπον. Soph. Ant. 356, 357. Ὀργὰς ἐδιδάξατο καὶ δυσαύλων. Ποτὲ μὲν κακὸν, ἄλλοτ ̓ ἐπ' ἐσθλὸν ἔρπει. (4) Logaoedic series with quadruple anapaest. Soph. Trach. 842. acatalectus. catalecticus. Μεγάλαν προσορῶσα δόμοισι βλάβαν νέων. Aesch. Prom. 558. Ἰότατι γάμων, ὅτε τὰν ὁμοπάτριον. The catalectic is not to be distinguished from the Penta podia anap. cat. (b) Anapaesticus quadruplex dupliciter iambicus. ναν acatalectus. catalecticus. The catalectic verse is the Versus Archebuleus with the dissyllabic anacrusis, see p. 97, as, Αγέτω θεὸς, οὐ γὰρ ἔχω δίχα τῶνδ ̓ ἀείδειν· |
