Synopsis
Unlock the rhythm of Terence’s verse with this detailed guide.
This volume analyzes Terence’s meters, from the familiar iambic senarius to the livelier septenarius and octonarius, and the distinctive trochaic forms. It explains how substitutions, caesuras, and other rhythmic devices shape the sound and pace of the verse, with illustrated examples drawn from Terence’s plays. The aim is to help readers understand how the music of Latin poetry underpins the drama and dialogue.
Written for advanced students, the book presupposes knowledge of Latin forms and syntax and emphasizes reading and interpretation over basic grammar. It pairs precise metrical analysis with careful commentary to illuminate Terence’s poetic technique and its differences from Greek verse practice.- Learn the main meters used in Terence, and how they structure dialogue and narrative.
- Explore substitutions, caesuras, and the rules that guide rhythm in Latin verse.
- See concrete, line-for-line examples that show theory in action.
- Compare Terence’s verse strategies with broader Greek and Roman verse practices.
