(from Glycon, a Greek lyric poet), a form of verse, best known in Catullus and Horace (usually in the catalectic variety _. - „ „ _ „ ), with three feet - a spondee and two dac tyls; or four - three trochees and a dactyl, or a dactyl and three chorees. Sir R. Jebb pointed out that the last form might be varied by placing the dactyl second or third, and according to its place this verse was called a First, Second or Third Glyconic. Cf. J. W. White, in Classical Quarterly (Oct. 1909).
