Q

Catullus’ poem 8 is written in “limping iambs” (also called scazons or choliambics). Each line has five iambs (∪ –) followed by either a trochee (– ∪) or a spondee (– –). The first short syllable of the first and third iambs can be replaced by a long. Thus:
_ _
∪ - ∪ - ∪ - ∪ - ∪ - ∪ - -x

A

The meter is associated with the insulting poems of the Greek poet Hipponax (6th century BCE); in Catullus’ poem the poet mocks himself rather than an enemy.

Q
