Epidiegesis; or Re-Statement
A Repetition in order to restate in full
Ep´-i-di´-e-ge´-sis, a repetition of the statement of a case or narration of facts: from ἐπί (epi), upon, and διήγησις (dieegeesis), the statement of a case (from διηγέομαι, dieegeomai, to describe or narrate in detail).
This is a kind of Prosapodosis: and it is so called when the repetition is for the purpose not of explanation, but of kindling emotion, provoking indignation, or evoking comparison.
