Aesch. Eum. vv. 490-565: studio sull’epiploke e sulle variazioni metrico-ritmiche
abstract
The examination of the second stasimon of Aeschylus’ Eumenides, with attention to the phenomenon of the epiploke and of the rhythmic variation in each of the four antistrophic pairs, allows us to formulate interesting reflections on the expressive value of the metric-rhythmic variations in the lyrical intonation.
