Note 923 — Chapter VI · THE CHORUS
Reading edition
When these short odes were of a lively character, they were apparently called ὑπορχήματα by the grammarians, and regarded as a separate class. But even stasima might be composed in the hyporchematic style. It seems better, therefore, to regard ὑπόρχημα as a term applicable, not to short lyrics only, but to any lyrics of a lively and dance-like metre. See the Tragic Drama of the Greeks, pp. 357, 359.
