Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the history of metrics and rhythmics in Greek and Latin poetry, from the Homeric era to the late Latin period. The author astutely observes the evolution of prosodic rules as they inform rhythmic structure and meaning, with special attention to how the concepts of ictus and the rhythmic foot helped form poetic expression. The author also discusses how the metrical structure of the Greek and Roman languages, as well as the wider historical context of their use, led to their poetic vitality and lasting influence on Western culture. This is a valuable book for students, scholars, and those interested in understanding the principles of classical prosody. Understanding these foundational principles will foster a deeper appreciation for the sophistication and artistry of ancient Greek and Roman poetry.
