Entertainment / Literature / Syzygy: (from Greek 'yoke'): In classical prosody, syzygy describes the combination of any two feet into another single metrical unit. It is often used interchangeably with the more precise term dipody, which refers more specifically to the metrical substitution of two normal feet, usually iambs or trochees, under a more powerful beat, so that a 'galloping' or 'rolling' rhythm results. See meter, rhythm, dipody.
