Abstract

In Eur. El. 469, Ph. 1581, IA 1332 and Tim. Pers. 131 one can single out the colon – ∪∪∪ – – after a dactylic sequence. It has been called «iambo-trochaic colarion» (Dale, West), because it is hard to label it unequivocally as iambic (penthia = reiz) or as trochaic (penthtr). Many other analyses are possible. In different contexts the same colon is considered to be dochmiac (hypod) or cretic (cr sp), and in Ar. Lys. 788, 789, 791 it is in strophic responsion with ithyphallic. Probably Euripides played with this ambiguity on purpose, as he did with lekythion, catalectic trochaic dimeter and acephalous iambic dimeter, and Timotheus followed him.
