Excerpt from Greek Prosody, Containing Rules for the Structure of Iambic, Trochaic, Anapæstic, and Dactylic Verse: With Two Dissertations; I. On the Versification of Homer, and the Use of the Digamma in His Poems; II. On Metrical Time in Iambic, Trochaic, and Anapæstic Verse
It will be observed that, in the following short system of Greek Prosody, I have omitted the rules usually given for determining the quantities of syllables, because I observed that they were very seldom consulted by Students, and because they are now in a great measure rendered unnecessary by the quantities being generally marked in Greek Lexicons. It will also be observed, that I have not given the rules for the structure of those kinds of verse that are found in the Choral Odes, as the work is intended to be introductory chiefly to the two Dissertations. My object was to state plainly and distinctly the rules for the structure of those kinds of verse that are commonly used by the Epic, Tragic, and Comic Poets.
A number of years ago I published, in the "Prosodia Græca," an "Inquiry into Homer's Versification, and the Use of the Digamma in his Poems." Since that period the subject has drawn considerable attention from several of the Continental Scholars, and from some also in this country. Most of these have supported the doctrine of the Digamma, in my opinion, on insufficient grounds. But as I found some great names opposed to me, I was resolved, in the course of reading several of the books of Homer in my Classes, to examine the subject anew with as much care as possible, and to collect evidence either for or against my opinions: because it appeared to me to be a question that must be determined, not by authorities, but by internal evidence drawn from the Iliad and Odyssey themselves.
