Elegiac refers either to those compositions that are like
elegies or to a specific poetic meter used in Classical elegies. The Classical elegiac
meter has two lines, making it a couplet: a line of
dactylic hexameter, followed by a line of
dactylic pentameter. Because the hexameter line is in the same meter as
epic poetry, and because the elegiac form was always considered lower style than epic, elegists frequently wrote with epic in mind and positioned themselves in relation to epic.
