But a little later it says something that contradicts my statement that the Greeks didn't rhyme either. It says:
"The ancient Greeks knew rhyme, and rhymes in
The Wasps by
Aristophanes are noted by a translator."
I don't know anything about that (maybe some of our Grecists will). To what extent did Greek poetry rhyme, when it did? And how often did it? Maybe it would be accurate to say that the Greeks didn't
usually rhyme. Rhyme, if it was indeed anything more than incidental, must certainly have been the exception.
