I am preparing some texts and I have a minor problem with meter... I think I only need to know the hexameter, the alcaicum, and the iambicus senarius to cover the texts below.
Can anyone offer any advice or links to help me understand the meters of these better? I have a hard time getting meters under my skin: I just know the hendecasyllabus and the sapphicum....
I have tried using the hexameter but I can't seem to get it right. Does anyone know if the poems have been scanned in their entirety and are available online - or just parts of them?
uobis gratias maximas
