Plural of bacchius; a metrical unit or foot used in classical poetry, consisting of one short syllable followed by two long syllables.
From Latin bacchii, plural of bacchius; the term comes from the festive nature associated with Bacchus, as the meter was used in celebratory verse.
Meter is like poetry's heartbeat—different metrical feet create different rhythms, and the bacchius foot's pattern (short-long-long) gives verses a dancing, celebratory feel perfect for festive poems.
