Synopsis

Eranus: A Collection of Exercises in the Alcaic and Sapphic Metres is a book written by Francis Warre Cornish and published in 1882. The book is a collection of exercises and examples of poetry in the Alcaic and Sapphic metres, which are two of the most important and widely used metres in classical Greek and Latin poetry. The Alcaic metre is a four-line stanza with a specific pattern of syllables, while the Sapphic metre is a three-line stanza with a more complex pattern. The book provides a detailed explanation of these metres and their use in classical poetry, as well as numerous examples and exercises for readers to practice and improve their own poetry writing skills. It is an invaluable resource for students and scholars of classical literature, as well as anyone interested in the art of poetry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
