	Epode
		When, with the appearance of Stesichorus and the evolution of choral lyric, a learned and artificial kind of poetry began to be cultivated in Greece, a new form, the epode-song, came into existence.
		It consisted of a verse of trimeter iambic, followed by a dimeter iambic, and it is reported that, although the epode was carried to its highest perfection by Stesichorus, an earlier poet, Archilochus, was really the inventor of this form.
		He says in the course of these poems, that in composing them he was introducing a new form, at least in Latin literature, and that he was imitating the effect of the iambic distichs invented by Archilochus.

	Greek meter anapaestic dimeter caesura diaeresis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		If you read a few lines of anapaestic dimeters (aloud or in your head) you will readily sense the almost plodding beat that it carries, no matter how many and varied the allomorphs are of the basic pattern.
		These dimeters are strung together with other dimeters (and even the odd monometer) into longer units called periods.
		The normal break in the anapaestic dimeter is a diaeresis in the middle of the dimeter, as follows:

	Greek meter anapaestic dimeter introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		In a somewhat simplified but not inaccurate sense, we may here think of metra as building into cola which in turn may build into periods which in turn may build into strophes and antistrophes [more on these in a later section] which build into choral odes.
		The anapaestic dimeter is, understandalby, based on the anapaestic foot, two shorts followed by a long, a kind of reversed dactyl: ◡ ◡ --.
		Before we go on to explore how this metron and its allomorphs make up systems of anapaestic dimeters, we are going to pause and take up the concept of katalexis in the the next section (§7.2).

		The second is a so-called “choriambic dimeter” followed by a “dragged” glyconean overlapping a hipponactean.
		The third is a series of choriambic dimeters with a concluding pherecatean.
		It eliminates the overlaps, the glyconic series, and the hipponactean in favor of choriambic dimeters with clausular suffixes (iambus and baccheus) at period end—an undoubtedly homogeneous structure that is varied only by the repetition of a shorter colon (acephalous choriambic dimeter) in matching vocatives, Aktis aeliou...hameras blepharon.

	Rhyme & Meter in Children's Poetry (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The number of beats (or accented syllables) per line determines the kind of meter; most nursery rhymes, for example, will be in tetrameter (four beats per line) or trimeter (three beats per line), or may alternate these two patterns.
		As these markings will tell you, the verse alternates trimeter lines with dimeter: 2 trimeter, 2 dimeter, then one trimeter again.
		Note that the rhyme pattern follows the metricalpattern: the trimeter lines rhyme on the A word; the dimeter lines on the B word.
