The dramatists, too, have this dactylic glyconic, partly singly among other similar measures, as Aesch. Agam. 152. Νεικέων τέκτονα σύμφυτον,

partly in systems the close of which is formed by the Pherecratean. The Ionian lyric poets, too, have such systems of pure glyconics, which close with a Pherecratean. Besides this dactylic glyconic there is yet another of choriambic rhythm which admits the middle time in the thesis of the closing iamb,

in the basis allows bolder rhythms, and admits polyschematist forms. The dramatists use it both singly and in systems. The glyconic is frequently united with the Pherecratean in one verse, as Aesch. Suppl. 686.

Εὐμενὴς δ ̓ ὁ Λύκειος ἔστω πάσα νεολαία.

If such a verse is used by the line, it is called a Priapean, versus Priapeus.

Sometimes an anacrusis precedes the basis of the glyconic.

--- Alcmaicum dodecasyllabum. Κόλπῳ σ ̓ ἐδέξανθ ̓ ἁγναὶ χάριτες Κρόνῳ.

(c) Dactylicus simplex tripliciter trochaicus.

acatalectus.

catalecticus.

The former occurs singly, as Soph. Oed. Col. 130.

Καὶ παραμειβόμεσθ' ἀδέρκτως·

with the anacrusis.

Pind. Nem. II. 2.

Ῥαπτῶν ἐπέων ταπόλλ' ἀοιδοί.

Sappho in Heph.

Πλήρης μὲν ἐφαίνεθ ̓ ἡ σελάνα.

Αἱ δ ̓ ὡς περὶ βωμὸν ἐστάθησαν.

With the basis it is the Phalaecean verse, versus Phalaeceus hendecasyllabus.

X-/

which is used by the line, especially by Roman lyric poets. It occurs, however, singly, too, as Soph. Phil. 136, 151.

Στέγειν ; τί λέγειν πρὸς ἄνδρ ̓ ὑπόπταν;
Φρουρεῖν ὅμμ ̓ ἐπὶ σῷ μάλιστα καιρῷ,

and joined with other rhythms, as Pind. Nem. VII. Epod. 5.

Λόγον Οδυσσέος ἢ πάθεν διὰ τὸν ἁδυεπῆ γενέσθ ̓ Ὅμηρον. If an anacrusis precedes the phalaecean verse, the following metre is formed:

-X/

νοννν

which Hephaestion considers Ionic with the anaclasis. He quotes as an example:

Ἔχει μὲν Ἀνδρομέδα καλὰν ἀμοιβάν.

Σαπφοῖ, τί τὰν πολύολβον Αφροδίταν.

The catalectic, too, is very frequent, as Aesch. Suppl. 101.

Αὐτόθεν ἐξέπραξεν ἔμπας, ἑδράνων ἐφ ̓ ἁγνῶν. Anacreon uses it with an ithyphallic following:

Τὸν λυροποιὸν ἠρόμην Στράττιν, εἰ κομήσει. Sometimes it receives the anacrusis, as Eur. Alc. 443.

Λίμναν Αχεροντίαν πορεύσας ἐλάτα δικώπῳ,

or the basis, as Pind. Nem. III. Epod. 2.

Ἄκος ὑγιηρὸν ἔν γε βαθυπέδῳ Νεμέα τὸ καλλίνικον φέρει.

(d) Dactylicus simplex quadrupliciter trochaicus.

acatalectus.

catalecticus.

The former occurs seldom, as, with a double iambic basis, Soph. Oed. R. 463.

Τίς ὅντιν ̓ ἡ θεσπιέπεια Δελφὶς εἶπε πέτρα,
Ἄῤῥητ ̓ ἀῤῥήτων τελέσαντα φοινίαισι χερσίν ;

The catalectic is more frequent, as Pind. Isthm. VI. 2.

(2) Logaoedic series with a double dactyl.

do not differ from the trimeter dactyl. cat. in disyll. and in syllabam.

(b) Dactylicus duplex dupliciter trochaicus.

acatalectus.

catalecticus.

The former is the versus decasyllabus Alcaicus, so called, and occurs as the closing verse of the Alcaic strophe. Καί τις ἐπ' ἐσχατιαῖσιν οἰκεῖς.

Virginibus puerisque canto.

Pindar does not use this rhythm, but it is found in the dramatists, as Eur. Rhes. 536.

Γίγνεται, καί τις πρὸ δόμων ὅδε γ' ἐστὶν ἀστήρ.

With a preceding monometer troch. with an anacrusis :

Simonides: Ανωλόλυξαν κισσοφόροις ἐπὶ διθυράμβοις. As an example of the catalectic verse take Aesch. Prom. 165.

Γένναν· οὐδὲ λήξει πρὶν ἂν ἢ κορέση κέαρ.

(c) Dactylicus duplex tripliciter trochaicus.

acatalectus.

catalecticus.

The former, as Soph. Electr. 1413.

Ὦ πόλις, ὦ γενεὰ τάλαινα, νῦν σε.

Pind. Nem. V. 2.

Εσταότ'. ἀλλ ̓ ἐπὶ πάσας ὁλκάδος ἔν τ ̓ ἀκάτῳ, γλυκεῖ ̓ ἀοιδά, the latter, Soph. Electr. 1414.

Μοῖρα καθαμερία φθίνει, φθίνει.

Pind. Nem. VI. 7.

Οἵαν τιν' ἔγραψε δραμεῖν ποτὶ στάθμαν.

(d) Dactylicus duplex quadrupliciter trochaicus.

acatalectus.

catalecticus.

Both doubtful; the acatalectic may be considered as a trimeter cat. in disyll. with an ithyphallic, the catalectic as a trimet. cat. in disyll. with a troch. cat. tripody.

(3) Lagavedic series with a triple dactyl.

(a) Dactylicus triplex simpliciter trochaicus.

They do not differ from the tetrameter dact. cat. in disyll.. and in syllab.

(b) Dactylicus triplex dupliciter trochaicus.

acatalectus.

catalecticus.

The former is the versus Praxilleus :

Ὦ διὰ τῶν θυρίδων καλὸν ἐμβλέποισα,

Παρθένε τὴν κεφαλὴν, τὰ δ ̓ ἔνερθε νύμφα.

Pindar does not use it, but it is found in the dramatists, as Soph. Ant. 134, 135.

Αντίτυπα δ ̓ ἐπὶ γᾷ πέσε τανταλωθεὶς

Πύρφορος, ὃς τότε μαινομένα ξὺν ὁρμᾷ.

With the anacrusis it is the versus Archebuleus, which the Alexandrians used by the line:

The dramatists and Pindar have the catalectic, as Aesch. Agam. 145.

(4) Logaoedic series with a quadruple dactyl.

Of these the dactylicus quadruplex dupliciter troch. acat. alone seems to have been in use, as Aesch. Prom. 165.
