介绍：
In this lecture we will seek to cover the main metrical forms of Ancient Greek and Latin poetry. The lecture will cover the essentials of the hexameter, the elegiac couplet, the iambic trimeter and lyric strophe, each of which had a lasting influence on all western poetry long after the fall of Rome. We will also consider not only the exact linguistic requirements of each form but the broader semantic and even social connotations and the history and development of each form in the hands of some of the most famous poets of Classical antiquity. No knowledge of Greek or Latin is required to enjoy the lecture.
