Syllogies"Word Symphonies": larger & key poems
see also: regular list
The Syllogies (as an analogy to the word "symphony", yet not composed of sounds, phônai, but of words, logoi) are the larger poems. They are the huge structures which provide for some more space and more freedom to develop a theme. The Syllogies carry the general story line forward, they are the key poems. Without them, the smaller ones would not be able to stand on their own. They are supposed to draw the current themes from their preceding smaller poems, to develop them further and elevate the following to the next level, they are the amplifiers that keep the entire machinery going.
