The metrical configuration of the ends of the second and third lines is noteworthy. Both lines have the common word-end - the so-called "bucolic diaeresis" - at the end of the fourth foot, and in both the sequence of a dactyl and spondee/trochee is filled by a single proper name. But while Ἀμφιτρύωνα fills the bill in line two quite adequately, Ἠλεκτρύωνος is awkward in the dactyl: it should scan as Ἠ-λεκτρ-ύ-ω-νος but the three consonants following λε- should make that syllable long (the τρ is not problematic, but κτρ won't quite work. It would appear that the composer has here failed to get meter and phrase together. Greek proper names are not infrequently stumbling-blocks for versifiers.Ἡσιόδου, <<Ἀσπὶς Ἡρακλέους>>, στοιχ. α'-γ'. wrote:ἢ οἵη προλιποῦσα δόμους καὶ πατρίδα γαῖαν
