Steps:
- Click on Search button.
- Enter the number of lines you want in your search pattern.
- Select weather the metrical pattern is Dactylic Hexameter or Elegiac Pentameter and select from either – ⏑ ⏑ or – – or (– ⏑ ⏑ |– – ) for each of the text boxes. (– indicates Long, ⏑ indicates Short).
- If you care about breaks between syllables, select " ͡ " to have no break and "," to have a break. If you do not care about breaks, then just click on next.
- Select all the poems on which you want to perform a search. (Double click on the text box to expand the contents inside it).
- After selecting the poems, we will be loading the dataset so it might take a while to give the output. Once the results are loaded, you can use the search bar to search the pattern matching for a particular poem or author.
- If you want to run the test again, just click on home button and follow the same steps.
This tool searches through a large corpus of Greek and Latin poetry for metrical patterns. It will search not only for a given pattern of long and short syllables (including variations, such as allowing a particular foot to be either a dactyl or a spondee), but also for areas where a word-break is required, forbidden, or optional.
Word-breaks are one of the more difficult areas in metrical study, as, by convention, the break before or after some words does not “count” for metrical purposes. In some cases, this can be especially difficult to diagnose (such as with οἱ, which might be a proclitic article or an enclitic pronoun). This tool examines other features of each line to arrive at a decision in each difficult case, but some lines still required individual human examination, and this work is not yet complete. For a list of words that this program considers metrical pro- or enclitics, click on Metrical proclitics and enclitics.
As with all such tools, this is a work in progress. If you are interested in our planned improvements, or if you wish to suggest others, visit Areas of Improvement section.

This project would not have been possible without a seed grant from the Institute for Humanities Research at Arizona State University.
Note that punctuation and line-ends can override the indications of this list.
If you have doubts about any words on this list, please send to me a specific example from the corpus of a word-break being incorrectly observed or unobserved. As there is no universal agreement on metrical enclitics and proclitics, I cannot guarantee that the tool will be changed to meet your requirements, but I always welcome scholarly debate on this topic.

At present, the corpus, and the tool, are fitted to search only for dactylic hexameters and elegiac pentameters. The underlying code, however, will process any metrical pattern, and adding new possibilities to this search is a priority.
-
This tool runs with a relatively small dictionary; for words not in the dictionary, the tool has no definitive knowledge of whether a given syllable is long or short. In these cases, it relies on the known metrical framework (e.g. a dactylic hexameter will not accommodate the pattern – ⏑ –) and on probabilities. It is thus possible (more so for Latin than for Greek) that some syllables may incorrectly be labeled as long or short. This problem will gradually diminish as the dictionary grows, but if you find any particular instance where the tool has incorrectly scanned a word, please email me.
-
There is no universal agreement as to which words should count as metrical proclitics and enclitics. In future versions, I intend to give the user the option to tailor this.
-
If you have a particular metrical framework that you would like to add, please let me know.
-
If you have a particular text that you would like to add, email me. This will entail some work on your part, but it is fairly easy to prepare a text for this tool; I can send you some instructions on how to format it.
-
If you detect any errors here, please let me know. Please note that many errors derive from the underlying text files, rather than the tool. Regardless of source, I will do my best to correct them as they are pointed out to me.
