Relating to or composed of epitrites, describing a metrical pattern in classical poetry based on epitritic feet.
Derived from 'epitrite' plus the suffix '-ic,' making an adjective form. This technical term remained confined to classical philology and the study of ancient poetry.
If you study Homer or other ancient Greek poets in the original language, you'd analyze their meter as epitritic or iambic or dactylic—it's like learning the song structure of ancient literature.
