Properly these are the lyric odes in the parabases of choruses, but peculiarly those of rhythms.[1]
They call every parabasis "anapaests". "[If any comic poet] had come forward before and praised himself in the anapaests"; Aristophanes says [this] in Peace.[2]
"And playful writings [sc. were directed] against this, and they were singing anapaests against [the] Romans."[3]
But [masculine] "anapaest" also means a type of meter of lines.[4]
