Stichomythia
Stichomythia (Greek: Στιχομυθία) is a technique in verse drama in which sequences of single alternating lines, or half-lines (hemistichomythia〔(), Antilabe Rebuilt by Robert Hogan.〕) or two-line speeches (distichomythia〔(), Die stichomythie in der griechischen tragödie und komödie:
ihre anwendung und ihr ursprung by Adolf Gross (German).〕) are given to alternating characters. It typically features repetition and antithesis. The term originated in the theatre of Ancient Greece, though many dramatists since have used the technique. Etymologically it derives from the Greek ''stikhos'' ("row, line of verse") + ''muthos'' ("speech, talk").〔Concise Oxford English Dictionary, 11th Edition Revised〕
Stichomythia is particularly well suited to sections of dramatic dialogue where two characters are in violent dispute. The rhythmic intensity of the alternating lines combined with quick, biting ripostes in the dialogue can create a powerful effect.
==In Ancient Greek drama==
Stichomythia originated in Greek drama.〔 Adolf Gross concludes that stichomythia developed from choral response.〔 J. Leonard Hancock differs in this regard, not finding overwhelming evidence for any particular origin theory, but admitting that the role of musical symmetry must have been significant. Instead he finds that the trends, within Ancient Greek aesthetics, toward agonistic expression, subtly in language, and love of symmetry, helped to give rise to stichomythia as a popular dialogue device.〔(), Studies in stichomythia by J. Leonard Hancock〕
