No it's written in dactylic hexameter—five sets of dactyls (one long syllable and two short syllables) or spondees (two long syllables) followed by an ancaps (two syllables, basically). Rhyming, as we know it, is also not very impressive in an inflected language. It's only when you get to barbarian germanic languages and their mongrel kin like English that something like rhyme becomes an adequate constraint on composition so as to allow for poetry to be built around it. For most of Western history, the constraint was metrical—the number, "length", and stress on syllables in a line. Differences in the scheme of metrical constraints is how different types of poetry were distinguished—i.e. epic poetry, elegiac poetry, satire, etc.doesnt the illiad rhyme in greek?
this is false. the original illiad did in fact rhyme but once rome rose to prominence around 25 bc and took hold of greece the translations all became latin.No it's written in dactylic hexameter—five sets of dactyls (one long syllable and two short syllables) or spondees (two long syllables) followed by an ancaps (two syllables, basically).

Why would taking Greece make Homeric poetry turn into Latin? You know Hellenistic Egypt was the literary and cultural center of the Greek speaking world by this point, right—and also where the completed version of Homer were first created? At least think a bit if you're gonna troll.this is false. the original illiad did in fact rhyme but once rome rose to prominence around 25 bc and took hold of greece the translations all became latin.

Rap lyrics do rhyme. I rest my case.It's the truth. The illiad doesn't rhyme. Beowulf doesn't rhyme. Sonattorek doesn't rhyme. The poetic edda doesn't rhyme.
