Resolution is the metrical phenomenon in classical poetry of replacing a longum with two brevia. It is generally found in Greek lyric poetry and in Greek and Roman drama, most frequently in comedy. It should not be confused with a biceps, which is a point in a meter which can equally be two shorts or a long, as is found in the dactylic hexameter. The biceps is freely able to be two shorts or a long, while resolution, particularly in tragedy, can only occur within very restricted situations. Two resolved longa in the same line is very unusual, for instance, while a biceps that is two shorts can freely be followed by another biceps that is two shorts. Also, two shorts that resolve into a long are almost always within the same word-unit. One example from iambic trimeter: : : u - u - u u u u - - - u - : (Sophocles, ''Oedipus at Colonus'' 41) Marking metra with | and using "uu" to mark the resolution, we can take this as: : u - u - | u uu u - | - - u - Note that the resolved pair is the word ὄνομ', so the resolution stays within the same word-unit. ==External links== * (Iambic Trimeter: Resolutions ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Resolution (meter)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
