The workbench
Epos Meter turns dactylic hexameter from textbook abstraction into a concrete offline workbench. Open authentic seed lines from the Iliad, Odyssey, Theogony, and selected Homeric Hymns in Greek script with scholarly transliteration and plain glosses. Tap long and short on the Scansion Bench, auto-group feet, score penthemimeral and bucolic cuts, and hear curated recitations so ear and eye lock together.
When you are ready, drop formulaic epithets from the metrical codex and compose in the Verse Forge—sixteen morae, six feet, legal fifth-foot pattern—validated in real time. Built for classics students, Latin and Greek teachers, and serious self-learners who need interactive meter craft, not a passive quote browser. Fully seeded and usable from first launch with no network required.
“Sixteen morae. Six feet. A caesura that earns its keep. The line either stands—or the engine sends it back to the forge.”

II
Scansion Bench
Tap syllables long or short, auto-group dactyls and spondees, and get instant rule feedback when a line breaks hexameter constraints.
III
Caesura Overlays
Place and score penthemimeral, trochaic, hepthemimeral caesuras and bucolic diaeresis with diagrams that show why a cut is preferred.
IV
Foot Pattern Drills
Hear or see a foot sequence, choose dactyl vs spondee under timed rounds, then review misses with annotated correct scans.
V
Formula Codex & Verse Forge
Browse stock noun-epithet phrases by metrical slot, drop legal formulas into composition, and lock lines only when the engine accepts a full hexameter.
VI
Recitation Lab & Lesson Paths
Play on-device audio for curated lines, re-mark scansion from memory, and finish structured paths on quantity, elision, mute-plus-liquid, and spondaic fifths.
Ear training beside the page
Recited examples live on the device so quantity is not only a mark on parchment but a rhythm you can hear. Mark, listen, re-mark—until dactyl and spondee stop being labels and start being felt under the voice.
