Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Traces of Epic Influence in the Tragedies of Aeschylus: A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of Bryn Mawr College for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
Eichler, on the other hand, rejecting the idea of the poetic force of the epic form, regards the requirements of metre as the chief factor in determining the forms used. The tragic poets, he says, have not used the epic forms, except where the Attic did not fit the metre, and on the other hand, whenever they could employ either Attic or epic, they have always preferred the Attic.
