	TryphioStyleIntro
		FOR the life of Tryphiodorus we have a notice in Suidas s.
		For the rest it is inferred from the fact that Tryphiodorus imitates Nonnus (circ.
		A. 400?), and is himself imitated by Colluthus, that he lived about the middle of the 5th century.

		Statius’ Thebaid and Valerius Flaccus’ Argonautica are examples of two Silver Latin epics; the first takes the Theban myth as its subject, the latter retells the story of the Golden Fleece.
		Finally the course moves into the fourth century AD and back into Greek epic to examine the Fall of Troy through Quintus Smyrnaeus’; Posthomerica and Tryphiodorus’ The Capture of Troy.

	Lipogrammatic Works of Fiction
		His best-known work is his rewriting of "Mary had a little lamb", with five separate lipogrammatic versions omitting the letters S, A, H, E and T respectively.
		The greek poet Tryphiodorus wrote his epic poem Odyssey, chronicling the adventures of Ulysses, excluding a different letter of the alphabet from each of the 24 books.
		Thus, the first book was written without alpha, the second without beta, and so on.

		That is what Jacques kept saying, what he repeated in his many different ways.
		The third category of gram, the lipogram, refers to a type of witticism, the classical device of dropping a letter from a word or, as in the case of Tryphiodorus, from anentire Odyssey or epic poem.
		We can simply note that it is a gram, and in fact it is one of Derrida’s more famous grams, a repeated term, and maybe even another epimone.

		The first I shall produce are the lipogrammatists or letter-droppers of antiquity, that would take an exception, without any reason, against some particular letter in the alphabet, so as not to admit it once into a whole poem.
		One Tryphiodorus was a great master in this kind of writing.
		He composed an “Odyssey” or epic poem on the adventures of Ulysses, consisting of four-and-twenty books, having entirely banished the letter A from his first book, which was called Alpha, as lucus a non lucendo, because there was not an Alpha in it.

	Recommended Cryptography Books: Literature Section
		This book is often collected by cryptographers because of its intentional deviation from normal letter frequencies.
		Other Lipogrammatic works (according to this page) that I won’t bother tracking down include "La Disparition" (Georges Perec, 1969), "Odyessey" (Tryphiodorus), and various novels by Lope De Vega Carpio (1562-1635).
		Poe introduced the public to letter frequency cryptanalysis when the short story "The Gold-Bug" was first published in 1843.

	Etymological and Historical Ramblings on "Lipogram"
		As far as can be told, the word 'lipogram' was first used in English by the playwright, essayist and statesman Joseph Addison (1672-1719) in The Spectator, his famed series of essays, in 1711.
		On May 8 of that year, Addison derided the "lipogrammatists or letter-droppers of antiquity", naming specifically Tryphiodorus' Odyssey as the worst exemplar of this approach.
		Addison treats lipograms (along with all wordplay) in a disparaging manner; we can forgive him, I suppose, if we interpret him as meaning that wordplay alone cannot constitute great literature.

	Spectator, May 8,1711
		He composed an Odyssey or Epick Poem on the Adventures of Ulysses, consisting of four and twenty Books, having entirely banished the Letter A from his first Book, which was called Alpha (as Lucus a non Lucendo) because there was not an Alpha in it.
		For the most apt and elegant Word in the whole Language was rejected, like a Diamond with a Flaw in it, if it appeared blemished with a wrong Letter.
		I shall only observe upon this Head, that if the Work I have here mentioned had been now extant, the Odyssey of Tryphiodorus, in all probability, would have been oftner quoted by our learned Pedants, than the Odyssey of Homer.

		However, unless Prime Computer Incorporated changes its name to Prim Systems Corporation, Frank's letterhead will continue to frustrate the perfect lipogram.
		The CEL defines "lipogram" as a "composition which contains no instances of a particular letter." The 5th-century poet Tryphiodorus still holds the record with 24 volumes, each avoiding a different letter of the Greek alphabet.
		A more recent example is a remarkable novel in French by George Perec which, if memory serves, avoids the use of "a", "e", and "q".
