Abstract

Dochmiacs have been subjected to multiple views and interpretations not only in the ancient world but also in the most recent modern studies. These involve both analytic identification of the smallest constitutive elements of the metre and comprehensive observations, geared towards recognising a certain autonomy of the sequence in the metrical panorama and supplying it with an ancestor from which it descends. The ancient division between rhythmical and metrical sources seems to be reflected in the metricological interpretations from the 19th century onwards, whose gathering point coincides with the known plaintive and pathetic purpose of the metre. However, this purpose results from a semantic specialisation in ancient theatre, and risks obscuring the intrinsic polysemy of dochmiacs which, through appropriate observations on literary texts, increases their variability in the perception of both audience and analysts.
