Hi David (et al.),

I've just taken a quick look at Hypotactic, which I hadn't heard of before.  What a fantastic resource!  Thanks for sharing it.

Best,

Peter

Hi Kyle,

If I may give one last plug, then I’ll shut up. The aim of my project is simply to tag the length of every syllable of extant ancient verse. I’ve done so for most of Early/Classical Latin verse, and a large amount of Greek (inc. most of the non-Homeric hexameter in and around the canon; I’m particularly proud of my Pindar). Rather than folks periodically coming up with a new tool to recognize hexameter etc., why not just do the scanning and post the data (for Latin some of you may know pedecerto.eu - same basic idea)? Or maybe I’m not understanding what you mean by “unseen” hexameter, which sounds partly exciting, but partly (given the UK English sense of “unseen” in our field) rather terrifying and flashback-giving. Anyway, I’m all for new tools (e.g. tools for analysis and visualization of tagged metrical data), and I appreciate the exhortation to sharing of such, but I think there’s also something to be said for sharing of generated data as well as tools (which is where this thread started).

@Martin Off the top of my head, one likely use of this metrical data would be to assist in tagging meter of unseen (non-Homeric) Greek hexameter. We could talk further on the Issues page about this, others would know better than I.
