Answer : ODES
ode – n
a lyric poem with complex stanza forms
Originating in ancient Greece, ode poems were originally performed publicly to celebrate athletic victories. Later, this poetic form was favored among English romantic poets, who used odes to express emotions using rich, descriptive language. Today, we use the term “ode” to describe any outpouring of praise, and modern ode poems have evolved to include various styles and forms.
An ode poem is traditionally divided into three sections, or stanzas:
- The strophe. In a Greek ode, the strophe usually consists of two or more lines repeated as a unit. In modern usage, the term strophe can refer to any group of verses that form a distinct unit within a poem.
- The antistrophe. The second section of an ode is structured the same way as the strophe, but typically offers a thematic counterbalance.
- The epode. This section or stanza typically has a distinct meter and length from the strophe and antistrophe, and serves to summarize or conclude the ideas of the ode.
The English Romantic poets wrote many odes, all of which explored intense emotions. While Romantic odes deviate in form and meter from the traditional Greek ode, they all tend to follow some kind of traditional verse structure. For example, Percy Bysshe Shelley’s “Ode to the West Wind,” believed to have been written in response to the loss of his son, is written in iambic pentameter.
