Meter
Some simple help on the hexameter: basic rules (this is an Aeneid handout) and practical rules for scansion from me, and the “Silver Muse” introduction to “epic versification” (i.e. meter)(note: Silver Muse links seem messed up) For a good page on the hexameter, with lots of metrical terms defined and illustrated, see the Skidmore page called Hexametrica. For some basic info see also here (hendecasyllabics, Sapphiocs, and elegiac couplet) and here (hexameter and elegiac couplet).
