  Polifemo: Main characters
Hyperbaton is the alteration of the conventional order of words, clauses or phrases to achieve a particular effect.
The pervasive use of hyperbaton in this poem is best explained as an attempt to create a "culto", that is, a cultured or elite form of poetic expression, as opposed to a style that is "llano", that is, plain or popular.
In the notes to the various stanzas, no further mention will be made of hyperbaton, owing to the fact that one's ability to appreciate the poem depends on the ability to recognize and understand the use of this rhetorical device.

The hyperbaton is not a trope, but a figure of speech in which the customary or logical order of words or phrases is inverted, esp. for the sake of emphasis or of creating some other effect; anastrophe and hysteron proteron are the most common examples.
Unlike the figures previously contemplated, the hyperbaton contributes to langauge evolution not by creating new words but by devising new ways of arranging them in a sentence.
English word order is rigid, which makes the possibilities of using hyperbaton rarer compared to other languages such as Italian or Latin.

Although there have been numerous studies of Pindar's style, including ones by Dornseiff (1921), Lauer (1959), Sulzer (1961), Kambylis (1964), and Race (1990), little or no attention has been paid to one of Pindar1s most striking figures, hyperbaton, in which an initial modifier is separated from its noun by several intervening words.
Beginning with these two examples, I will illustrate the various ways in which Pindar uses hyperbaton to frame and emphasize statements.
Finally, I shall show how consistently Pindar adapts these framing hyperbata to the metrical form and rhetorical intention of his poems and how the intervening words work to create a coherent unit.

Indeed, it parallels Genesis from the Bible very closely--Ovid is relating "In the beginning," not "Once upon a time."
Throughout the passage, Ovid uses word-order patterns common in his other poetry, such as synchesis (interlocked word order), enjambment (delaying of a word until the next line), hyperbaton (a significant change from typical word order), and chiasmus (an ABBA pattern).
Most common in this passage are enjambment and hyperbaton; adjectives seem to often stray far from their control-nouns.
