ABRITTA *, Alejandro. Consideraciones preliminares para un nuevo modelo teórico de la métrica griega antigua: el caso del verso eólico. Synthesis (La Plata) [online]. 2018, vol.25, n.1, pp.3-4. ISSN 0328-1205.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/1851779xe028.

The goal of this paper is to present some theoretical considerations about Greek meter, with special attention to the study of the verse of the eolic poets (Sappho and Alcaeus). We analyze some of the current theoretical models for its study, trying to show their limitations and the need for a new model, more suitable for understanding the object of study. Likewise, we seek to demonstrate that the model presented by Dale (1969: 41-97) and extended by Sicking (1993) is the one that with greater precision and simplicity describes the formal structures of the Greek verse, and therefore it can offer a basis for its abstract level description. We argue, on the other hand, that it is necessary to complement that description with an analysis of the realization level, based fundamentally in the quantitative study of poems.

Palabras clave : Greek meter; Eolic verse; Sappho; Alcaeus.
