Hexameter—
Hexameter, the name of the earliest
and most important form of classical
verse in dactylic rhythm. The word is
due to each line containing six feet
or measures, the last of which must
be a spondee and penultimate a dactyl,
though occasionally, for some special
effect , a spondee may be allowed in
the fifth foot. The four other feet may
be either spondees or dactyls…..
The most usual places for the caesura
are at the middle of the third, or the
middle of the fourth root: the former
is known as the penthemimeral and
the latter as hepthemimeral caesura.
