Definition
Plural of epode; multiple short poetic sections or lines that follow longer ones in lyric poetry.
Etymology
From Greek 'epōidos' (sung after). The plural form refers to the collection of structural units in classical poetic compositions, especially famous in Horace's works.
Kelly Says
Horace's 'Epodes' are among the most famous examples—he created 17 poems using this Greek technique, and they show how this particular rhythm pattern could create tension, humor, and emotional power in Latin poetry.
