Lateinische Metrik. Eine Einführung

Ovid, Catullus, Martial - Poetry plays a significant role in Latin lessons for middle and high school students. This introduction to Latin metrics starts with the smallest units of the Latin language: sounds and syllables. Based on their characteristics, the rules of Latin prosody are systematically taught - anyone who wants to distinguish and analyze the main verse forms of the Romans must know these rules.

The book provides the fundamentals of metrics for school or study: covering stresses and rests, long and short syllables, dactyls and spondees, iambs, hexameters, and much more.

With clear examples and exercises (including solutions).

Languages: Latin, German.
