Glyconus

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The glyconic is in the ancient Verslehre a achtsilbiges Aeolian meter . In metric formula notation , it becomes withglabbreviated. The meter is named after the otherwise unknown Greek poet Glykon ( Hephaistion 10.2).

A distinction is made between the following three forms:

1. Glyconus (gl1): —◡◡ — ◡ — ◡—
2. Glyconus (gl2): ◡ ◡ —◡◡ — ◡ ◡
3. Glyconus (gl3): - ◡ - ◡ —◡◡—

Of these three forms, the 2nd glycone is most commonly used; it is also always meant when the term glyconeus is used without any further distinction.

Ancient seal

The glyconeus can be regarded as the core verse of the Aeolian meter , as the various Aeolian verses emerge through its modification: For example, the Phalacic verse (a Baccheus is added to the glyconeus ) with an external extension, for example the small Asklepiadeus (the for äölischen the dimensions characterizing choriamb is) is doubled, in shortening the Versendes to a syllable, for example, the pherecratean (which thus as catalectic can be considered glyconic). If the verse is missing the first syllable, the form, the acephalic glyconeus, is called Telesilleus, named after the poet Telesilla .

The second form of the glycone occurs most often as the closing verse in the Third Asclepiadic stanza , but it also closes the second Asclepiadic stanza . Less common are three Glykoneen containing Glykoneische verse ; In Latin poetry, the glyconus also appears in a row.

German poetry

Replicas of the Glykoneus in German can be found especially in the replicas of the Asclepiadic stanzas. The first stanza of Ludwig Hölty's Das Landleben :

 Wonderful man who fled the city!
Every rustling of the tree, every sound of the brook,
Every flashing pebble
preaches virtue and wisdom to him!

The fourth verse of this third Asclepiadean stanza is a glyconus.

The glyconeus is found in rhyming poems much less often than in the replicas of the unrelated ancient stanzas. Friedrich Schiller's The Greatness of the World deliberately uses ancient meter measures in the design of the stanza - the first two verses are small Asklepiadeen, the fourth verse is a Pherekrateus, and the last two verses are glycones. The first stanza:

The the sheep Fende mind once from the Cha os suggested ,
through the schwe bende world fly I of the win of the flight ,
until at Stran de
Ih rer Where I gen lan de,
Arr he throw where no touch more blows
And the marrow stone of Schoep fung stands .

Friedrich Rückert composes a long verse from a second and a first glycon, which he uses for a Ghazel . The first six verses of This is your office :

Shine, O flaming sun eye, over the world; this is your office.
Spring! decorate the field with a blooming rose dream; this is your office.
Moon in the sky! O do not sleep! Because here on earth his
nights of love want to be lovingly illuminated by your ray; this is your office.
Sing, oh loving nightingale, what you know of the beauty of roses,
Sing and die while singing, you are called to sing; this is your office.

Johann Heinrich Voss breaks down into Mein and Dein Priapeen and rhymes the glycones and pherecratees obtained in this way. The beginning of the first stanza:

Only make wine, and singing to the wine;
We stay lively forever,
go in a quarrel about mine and your
everything over and under!

Here the first and third verses are glycones.
