| 词条 | Resolution (meter) |
| 释义 |
Resolution is the metrical phenomenon in classical poetry of replacing a longum with two brevia. It is generally found in Greek lyric poetry and in Greek and Roman drama, most frequently in comedy. It should not be confused with a biceps, which is a point in a meter which can equally be two shorts or a long, as is found in the dactylic hexameter. The biceps is freely able to be two shorts or a long, while resolution, particularly in tragedy, can only occur within very restricted situations. Two resolved longa in the same line is very unusual, for instance, while a biceps that is two shorts can freely be followed by another biceps that is two shorts. Also, two shorts that resolve into a long are almost always within the same word-unit. One example from iambic trimeter: {{lang|grc|τίνων τὸ σεμνὸν ὄνομ' ἂν εὐξαίμην κλύων}} u – u – u u u u – – – u – (Sophocles, Oedipus at Colonus 41) Marking metra with | and using "uu" to mark the resolution, we can take this as: | u – u – | u uu u – | – – u – | Note that the resolved pair is the word ὄνομ', so the resolution stays within the same word-unit.
