Is there Rhyme in Ancient Greek Poetry? & We know how Latin was Written, but how was it Spoken?

Ben Jonson's claim that "Greek was free from Rime’s Infection" has echoed for centuries, although rejected by some. Leon Wash (Classics) revisits the debate, sharing striking evidence of rhyme in ancient Greek, including a poem about beer among the Celts.

Boris Kayachev (Classics) investigates the rhythms, stresses, and pauses of spoken Latin by analysing metrical breaks in classical poetry and applying the same methodology to Neo-Latin poetry.
