Epode information


According to one meaning of the word, an epode[1] is the third part of an ancient Greek choral ode that follows the strophe and the antistrophe and completes the movement.[2]

The word epode is also used to refer to the second (shorter) line of a two-line stanza of the kind composed by Archilochus and Hipponax in which the first line consists of a dactylic hexameter or an iambic trimeter.[3] (See Archilochian.) It can also be used (as in Horace's Epodes), to refer to poems written in such stanzas.
