Alkeev verse

Alkeev verse - a verse of ancient metrics , named after the ancient Greek lyric poet Alkey (VII-VI centuries BC).

Alkeev verse is one of the logaedas . There are three types of Alkee's verse:

1. eleven-complex: “U — U — U — UU — UU”; for example, “ odi profanum volgus et arceo ”;
2. tenfold: “—UU — UU — U — U”; for example, " nec veteres agitantur orni ";
3. nine-syllable: “U — U — U — U — U”; for example, " dumeta natalemque silvam ."

Two Alkhean eleven-complex verses, Alkeev nine-syllable verse and Alkeev ten-syllable verse together make the Alkeev stanza .
