Description
Summary:Studies on late hexameter have progressed a lot in recent decades, but a detailed analysis of the poetry remainders of the empress Eudocia still needs to be implemented. This study shows that the verses of Eudocia are not affected by Nonnus’s reform, despite being verses written in an epic and Homeric style. The schemata number, the lesser regression of the spondee with respect to Nonnus and his followers, as well as some differences in the use of the caesuras and in the prosody, which show that her hexameter is affected by the change from quantitative rhythm to the accentuatory one, demonstrate that Eudocia’s poetry constitutes a singular page in the history of Greek dactylic hexameter.
