Antistrophe

Antistrophe ( ancient Greek ἀντιστροφή , turn ',' counter- turn ', also counterstrophe ) is in Greek drama the reversal of the direction of movement following the first part called stanza when the choir or half- choir in the orchestra strides or dance , then the part corresponding to this about turn of singing. Strophe and antistrophe are built in the same way in terms of the metric scheme , the following third part, called the epode , is usually metrically different. The second part of the Pindarian ode, which is similarly three- parted, is also called the Antistrophe.

In rhetoric , antistrophe is a term no longer in use today for Epiphora , especially if the order is reversed when the word sequence is repeated (example: "King of the bakers and the king's baker").
