Abstract The goal of this paper is to present an accentual rule for a combination of locations of the Homeric hexameter, the fourth and the sixth metra. The author shows that, when there is a trochaic word ending in the fourth trochee, the location of Hermann’s bridge, there is a change in the distribution of accent types in the sixth metron, favoring what he calls “barytone falls”, that is, post-acute long syllables. After presenting the regular distribution of accents in the sixth metron, the author shows how that distribution is modified when there is a trochaic ending word in the fourth trochee. The results are later revised for possible formulaic interferences. Finally, he considers the implications of this phenomenon for the interpretation of Hermann’s law and speculates on its influence on current explanations of that rule.

荷马重音分布的变化在以四号结尾的特洛恰词的诗句中

摘要 本文的目的是为荷马六音节、第四节和第六节的位置组合提出一个重音规则。作者表明，当有一个以赫尔曼桥位置的第四个trochee结尾的trochaic词时，第六个节拍中的重音类型分布发生了变化，有利于他所谓的“重音下降”，即，后急性长音节。在介绍了第六节拍中重音的规律分布之后，作者展示了当第四节拍中有一个 trochaic 结束词时该分布是如何修改的。结果后来针对可能的公式干扰进行了修订。最后，他考虑了这种现象对解释赫尔曼定律的影响，并推测了它对当前对该规则的解释的影响。
