Greek metre: An introduction, by D. S. Raven. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780571046645.

This work, first published in 1962, is a scholarly, yet accessible introduction to the metres of Greek verse. It remains a reference manual for students and teachers who wish to arrive at a fuller appreciation of the rhythmical flow of Greek drama and lyric poetry. The subject is often considered "difficult", but it is made approachable by concentration on groups of classes of metre, and by restriction of technical jargon to a minimum.
