This book presents a fresh look at the field of ancient Greek meters, bringing together Greek metrical theory and modern observations to illuminate the subject for both academic study and practical application. The text is structured in three parts. The first considers the theoretical and practical basis of ancient Greek metrics, examining the earliest philosophical and mathematical theories of rhythm and their development into a sophisticated science. The author then explores the application of these theories in different poetic forms including epic, lyric, and dramatic verse, with close analysis of rhythmic patterns and their relation to poetic styles and literary genres. Finally, the book examines the influence of Greek metrical theory on Latin, and on the broader classical tradition as a whole. The author's comprehensive overview, set against the backdrop of ancient Greek philosophy and literature, will be of significant interest for classicists, students of comparative literature, and literary theorists.
