Asclepiad

Asclepiad [as‐klee‐pi‐ad], a Greek poetic metre named after Asclepiades of Samos (c. 300 BCE), although it was used earlier in lyrics and tragedies. It consists of two or three choriambs preceded by a spondee and followed by an iamb. Employed frequently by Horace and later adopted by the German poet Hölderlin, it is rarely found in English.

Adjective: Asclepiadean.
