The Trisyllabic Ending of the Pentameter: Its Treatment by Tibullus, Propertius, and Martial

Classical Quarterly 42 (3-4):68- (1948)

Abstract

It is well known that the trisyllabic ending of the pentameter, which, with the Augustan elegists, declines in popularity until it is practically rejected by Ovid, meets with a revival in Martial. His pentameters show a considerably higher proportion of trisyllabic endings than those of either Tibullus or Propertius.1 Is it possible to dis-cover any reasons, conscious or instinctive, that conditioned the revival of this type of ending?
