Description

Bisected Trimeters In Attic Tragedy is a book written by Thomas Dwight Goodell and originally published in 1906. The book is an in-depth analysis of the use of bisected trimeters in ancient Greek tragedy, specifically in the works of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides. Goodell examines the structure, rhythm, and meaning of these verses, which are known for their distinctive use of caesura, or a pause in the middle of a line. The book includes detailed examples and explanations of the use of bisected trimeters in various plays, as well as discussions of their historical context and significance.
