Just a note of thanks for your valuable additions to the Saturnian article. Apparently the treatment of the form has changed substantially since Allen and Greenough. There's some data in Calvert Watkins' How to Kill a Dragon but not enough to really address the Latin fragments thoroughly. :) -- Smerdis of Tlön 14:34, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Question about Saturnian verse
editBecause I'm a Latin nerd, and because I haven't had the chance to study it in depth at College, and since I'd like to compose my own Saturnian poem, having already composed one in Dactylic Hexameter, I was wondering how the vowels work in this verse form. Are they long and short like Dactylic hexameter? The Saturnian Article says "syllable weight or the arrangement of light and heavy syllables was the governing principle." What the heck is syllable weight? I understand the scheme you uploaded, I just don't get "syllable weight" Drop me a line if you get the time. Thanks.
