The Meters of Greek Drama database compiles metrical information (scansion) about Ancient Greek plays, so that students, scholars, dramaturgs, and performers can easily see the metrical patterns within each play, in addition to discovering statistical patterns in the use of meter throughout the corpus of Greek drama.
The most straightforward way to learn how to use the database is to begin exploring it - start with one of the plays, then tinker with the statistics. Keep the meter chart handy for quick reference.

Meters of Greek Drama is ongoing at Washington University in St. Louis. If you have any questions or suggestions for improvement, please reach out to us here: tmoore26@wustl.edu.
