This is a line used only occasionally in Greek choral odes and scolia, but a favorite of Catullus who realized the Aeolic base as – – or – × or × –, but not as × × for example, in the first poem in his collection (with formal equivalent, substituting English stress for Latin length):Īlcaic (Latin: hendecasyllabus alcaicus): Phalaecian (Latin: hendecasyllabus phalaecius): The three Aeolic hendecasyllables (with base and choriamb in bold) are: In classical poetry, "hendecayllable" or "hendecasyllabic" may refer to any of three distinct 11-syllable Aeolic meters, used first in Ancient Greece and later, with little modification, by Roman poets.Aeolic meters are characterized by an Aeolic base × × followed by a choriamb – u u – where –=a long syllable, u=a short syllable, and ×=an anceps, that is, a syllable either long or short.
