	Antistrophe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Antistrophe, the portion of an ode which is sung by the chorus in its returning movement from west to east, in response the strophe, which was sung from east to west.
		When the sections of the chorus have ended their responses, they unite and close in the epode, thus exemplifying the triple m in which the ancient sacred hymns of Greece were coined, from the days of Stesichorus onwards.
		As Milton says, "strophe, antistrophe and epode were a kind of stanza framed for the music then used with the chorus that sang."

	EPODE - LoveToKnow Article on EPODE
		At a certain moment the choirs, which had chanted to right of the altar or stage and then to left of it, combined and sang in unison, or permitted the coryphaeus to sing for them all, standing in the centre.
		Of the former class, the epithalamia of Catullus, founded on an imitation of Pindar, present us with examples of strophe, antistrophe and epode; and it has been observed that the celebrated ode of Horace, beginning Quem virum aut heroa lyra vet acri, possesses this triple character.
		But the word is now mainly familiar from an experiment of Horace in the second class, for he entitled his fifth book of odes Epodon liber or the Book of Epodes.

		antistrophe 1 And the light-hearted race of birds, and the tribes of savage beasts, and the sea-brood of the deep, he snares in the meshes of his woven toils, he leads captive, man excellent in wit.
		antistrophe 1 I see that from olden time the sorrows in the house of the Labdacidae are heaped upon the sorrows of the dead; and generation is not freed by generation, but some god strikes them down, and the race hath no deliverance.
		antistrophe 2 For that hope whose wanderings are so wide is to many men a comfort, but to many a false lure of giddy desires; and the disappointment comes on one who knoweth nought till he burn his foot against the hot fire.

		(antistrophe 4) Yea, though the counsel fall, undone it shall not lie, Whate'er be shaped and fixed within Zeus' ruling mind- Dark as a solemn grove, with sombre leafage shaded, His paths of purpose wind, A marvel to man's eye.
		(antistrophe 2) And swift through Asian borders doth she urge Her course, o'er Phrygian mountains' sheep-clipt side; Thence, where the Mysian realm of Teuthras lies, Towards Lydian lowlands hies, And o'er Cilician and Pamphylian hills And ever-flowing rills, And thence to Aphrodite's fertile shore, The land of garnered wheat and wealthy store.
		(antistrophe 3) For the race of Aegyptus is fierce, with greed and with malice afire; They cry as the questing hounds, they sweep with the speed of desire.

		The colon is a single period in its first and third occurrences, and in the first and second it is a single sentence in both strophe and antistrophe.
		In the lyric dialogue, the lineation is inconsistent, with break after the 13th syllable in the strophe, after the 11th in the antistrophe.
		The antistrophe is more likely to show the intended colometry as the first line there (line 521) ends in mid-word.

		It is also likely that some odes were delivered not by the chorus in two parts but by the chorus as a unit moving in one direction during the strophe, then in the opposite direction during the antistrophe, and standing still during the epode.
		Its structure is essentially that of the classical ode indicated above: the strophe and antistrophe can consist of any number of lines of any lengths following any rhyme scheme of the poet's choosing; they are, however, identical in structure.
		The epode differs in structure in whatever ways the poet chooses to make it differ to suit his content; it is usually placed after the antistropbc but may be used between the strophe and antistrophe.

		The ends of these lines are missing from the papyrus, and textual problems make it impossible to determine what was originally there; the remaining fragment of line 571 does show that the papyrus had a different text from the manuscripts.
		The manuscript text of the antistrophe is certainly corrupt (it is ungrammatical), but the papyrus does not allow us to fix either the textual problem or the metrical one.
		Its main metrical problem is the complicated responsion between strophe and antistrophe, not atypical of Sophocles but sometimes difficult to analyze or interpret.

	antistrophe and antistrophon and century dictionary and oxford english dictionary
		Antistrophe may be translated as "turning about" or "turning in the opposite direction." Its most familiar usage is probably in the context of classical tragedy, where it is a part of a choral ode corresponding to the strophe, which immediately procedes and is identical to it in meter.
		The rhetorical device of antistrophe, which other scholars have used interchangeably with epistrophe (a "turning upon" something), recognizes something very crucial about the nature of the human mind.
		What remains is a word which is one of the definitions in the Century Dictionary and appears as a separate word, antistrophon, in the OED.

		antistrophe 3 Long, long ago to mortals this was told, How sweet security and blissful state Have curses for their children-so men hold- And for the man of all-too prosperous fate Springs from a bitter seed some woe insatiate.

	Strophe
		Strophe (Greek, "to turn"), a term in versification which properly means a turn, as from one foot to another, or from one side of a chorus to the other.
		But it was the Greek ode-writers who introduced the practice of strophe-writing on a large scale, and the art was attributed to Stesichorus, although it is probable that earlier poets were acquainted with it.
		The arrangement of an ode in a splendid and consistent artifice of strophe, antistrophe and epode was carried to its height by Pindar.

	Observations on Greek rhythm: (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The terms "strophe", "antistrophe", and "epode", used in Svarlien's translations of Pindar, are fairly technical.
		"Strophe" and "antistrophe" are ways of referring to the metrical or rhythmical pattern of a text which was originally sung.
		As already stated, the significance of "strophe" and "antistrophe" was, as in a modern song, mainly a matter of musical accompaniment.

		The parabasis-song of the Knights, the representatives of true patriotism and civic decency, is a hymn to Poseidon (in the strophe) and Athene (in the antistrophe).
		The stanza falls into four sections, of which the first two are constructed metrically in the same way: a sequence of choriambo-iambic dimeters, with their own catalectic form, the aristophanean, as clausula.
		The metrical symbols in the scansions on the left-hand pages include indications of hiatus justifying verse-end, and it is clear at sight whether this occurs in strophe, antistrophe, or both.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Prose Or Sequence
		Each pair of strophes is composed of strophe and antistrophe, which exactly agree in their length and the number of their syllables (later also in rhythm and rhyme).
		The execution was entrusted to two choirs (usually of men and boys, respectively), the strophe being sung by one and the antistrophe by the other to the same melody.
		On the whole then the Prosa was true to its name in being prose, except that the fact that the antistrophe had to be as long as the strophe and that the end of the verse had, so far as possible, to correspond with the end of the word imposed a certain restraint.

		Choral songs or odes, like this first one, are often divided into 3 parts: the Strophe, or first stanza, the Antistrophe, or answering stanza, and the Epode, the third part that "is sung after." A choral ode can have many stanzas.
		The "First Sea Lord of the Greek ships," Agamemnon (Antistrophe 3), does not make the sacrifice, and so Artemis causes the wind to blow the wrong way, and the ships cannot sail (Strophe 4).
		In Antistrophe 3, the Chorus disagrees with the old saying that too much good fortune leads to a downfall.

	What is Chiasmus
		When used in rhetoric and grammar, antistrophe (pronounced ann-TIS-tro-fee) is defined by the OED as "the repetition of words in inverse order." The word appeared in English for the first time in 1625, and may be traced to a Greek word meaning, "a turning about." In 1728, Chamber's influential Cyclopedia included this entry:
		While the example cited by Chambers is clearly chiastic, the word antistrophe never took hold, even with scholars, because the word means something else in another setting.
		In Greek lyrical drama, antistrophe refers to the second part of the drama, in which the chorus reverses the movement of the first part (called the strophe).

	The Millennium Library: Glossary - Strophe
		In the chorus of the Greek drama from which the ode is taken, the strophe is chanted by half the choir while moving to the left and the antistrophe by the other half while moving to the right, while both combine and remain still in chanting the epode.
		In English odes, the strophe and the antistrophe usually share one stanzaic pattern, while the epode follows another: odes in which all stanzas follow the same pattern, such as Keats" "To Autumn", are called "homostrophic'.

	Connections: Poetry: Forms: The Ode (2)
		In the Greek context, a chorus performed an ode by moving first on one direction to sing the strophe, which involved varying metrical patterns and dance steps, then in another direction to sing the antistrophe, which reversed the steps, and one or more epodes, in which the chorus stood still.
		The Pindaric ode translates the strophe and antistrophe into its verse form.
		In a Pindaric ode, the strophes and antistrophes share the same verse form, but the opposing movements of the Greek chorus become two positions that the narrator explores, with the epode or epodes using a different verse form and often finding some kind of resolution of the strophe and antistrophe.
