Sistema y realización en la métrica: bases antiguas de una doctrina moderna

Abstract

The aim of this article is to show that principles such as the differences between Form and Structure or Rhythmic Form and Metric Form, so widely used in contemporary metrics studies, have already been clearly developed within the Rhythmics doctrine in Classical times, implicitly through the distinction between ῥυθμός and ῥυθμοποιία and even explicitly in the theory of διαφοραὶ κατα σχῆμα or in the oppositions χρόνος πρῶτος / συλλαβή ῥυθμός / ῥυθμιζόμενον.
