dactylic

This may occur when the accent is on the first syllable of a foot; that is, when the foot is trochaic or dactylic.

Without such dactylic movement, the vocal expression of a pathos so intense would be hardly possible to the human voice.

In dactylic hexameter how many of these feet are there in a line?

Yet it is only by mere accident that Homer dealt with gods, wars, mythical events and employed dactylic hexameter.

A great variety of verses is used in the epitaphs, but the dactylic hexameter and the elegiac are the favorites.
