The study or analysis of glyconic meter and verse patterns in classical Greek and Latin poetry.
From glyconic + -ics (suffix forming nouns for fields of study). This emerged as a specialized subdiscipline within classical philology and metrics.
Glyconics is a perfect example of how scholars create entire fields of study around patterns they find beautiful—ancient poets didn't have a name for their rhythm, but modern academics gave their preference an entire academic home.
