+\Greek{prosi'mion} and \Greek{str}+\Greek{a)nt.\,a$^\prime$}: ionics
+\textit{a minore}. This is the characteristic metre of the
+\textit{Bacchae}. Its use was doubtless traditional for Dionysiac
+plays, since it is proper to Dionysiac cult-hymns; it appears
+in the refrain of Philodamos' Delfic hymn to Dion. and in the
+Iacchos-hymn of the \textit{Frogs} (\oldstylenums{324} ff.).
+The standard line consists of two \Greek{me'tra} (\oldstylenums{65}
+and \oldstylenums{69} have three), either
+
+\begin{list}{}{}
+%
+\item[(\textit{a})] `straight' form, \metra{\b\b\m\m \c \b\b\m\m}
+(Hor., \textit{Odes} \oldstylenums{3}, \oldstylenums{12} is composed
+entirely in this form),
+%
+\item[or (\textit{b})] `anaclastic' or broken form (anacreontics),
+\metra{\b\b\m\b\c\m\b\m\m}.
+\end{list}
+%
+(\textit{b}) yields a swifter and more emotional rhythm than
+(\textit{a}). Both forms are illustrated by Kipling's line:\par
+\begin{metrica}
+\-And th\-e s\='unsh\=ine\c \-and th\-e p\='almtre\=es \-and th\-e
+t\=inkl\-y t\=empl\-e b\=ells\ \metra[\m{-2}\ss{1.225}\ms{st}]{\K\m}%
+\end{metrica}\par
+Variations include (\oldstylenums{1}) `catal\=exis', suppressing the
+last syllable of the second \Greek{me'tron} and occasionally of the
+first (\oldstylenums{64} = \metra{\b\b\m\k\m \c \b\b\m\k\m});
+(\oldstylenums{2}) `syncopation', suppressing a short syllable within
+the \Greek{me'tron} (\oldstylenums{71} = \metra{\b\b\m\b\c\m\p\m\m});
+(\oldstylenums{3}) `resolution' of either long into two shorts
+(\oldstylenums{79} = \metra{\b\b\bb\m\c\b\b\m\m}); (\oldstylenums{4})
+the reverse substitution of a long for two shorts
+(\oldstylenums{81} = \metra{\m\m\m\c\b\b\m\m}).\ [\ldots]
+
+\Greek{str.}+\Greek{a)nt.\,b}$^\prime$. In \oldstylenums{105}%
+-\oldstylenums{10} = \oldstylenums{120}-\oldstylenums{5} the first
+element is a choriambus \metra{\m\b\b\m} (resolved in
+\oldstylenums{107}-\oldstylenums{122} into \metra{\bb\b\b\bb}); the
+second is either an iambic \Greek{me'tron}
+(\oldstylenums{109}-\oldstylenums{124}, with the last long resolved)
+or a bacchius \metra{\b\m\m} (perhaps equivalent to a syncopated
+iambic \Greek{me'tron} \metra{\b\m\p\m}).
+
+In the remainder, ionics (\oldstylenums{113}-\oldstylenums{14})
+are mixed with glyconics (see on stasimon \oldstylenums{1},
+\oldstylenums{402} ff., which for the beginner forms a
+better introduction to the metre) and dactyls. The last
+named describe the rush of the dancers to the mountains
+(\oldstylenums{116}-\oldstylenums{17}); and in general the excited and
+swiftly changing rhythms seem to reflect, as Deichgr\"aber observes,
+the Dionysiac unrest.
