GreekHex Verse

GreekHex Verse is a hands-on Homeric dactylic-hexameter composition studio for Homeric Greek students, classics undergrads, AP and college Greek instructors, and epic-translation workshops who need metrically legal Zeus formulas and short invocation or type-scene lines before class drills and close-reading seminars. Turn abstract hexameter rules and scattered epithet lists into a concrete on-device verse workbench: legal Zeus formulas, visible scansion, exemplar-backed feedback, and drill loops you can use in seminar—fully offline, with no subscriptions and no empty catalog screens. VERSE-JOB GALLERY Open Invocation Opening, Storm Simile, Divine Rebuke, Assembly Address, or Messenger Charge templates. Each preloads target tone tags, a suggested caesura, and a sample foot pattern so the board is never blank. QUANTITY-TAGGED ZEUS LEXICON Browse 50+ seeded name forms and epithets (for example Kroníōn, aigíokhos, terpikéraunos) with long/short maps, Ionic-epic notes, and quick-add chips. Filter by metrical shape, storm, sovereignty, or kinship domains, and frequency band. SIX-FOOT HEXAMETER COMPOSER Place name, epithet, and filler chips into feet 1–6, toggle dactyl or spondee intent per foot, mark masculine or feminine caesura, and hear optional tap-tempo syllable ticks while building a 1–3 line snippet. LIVE SCANSION ENGINE Color-layer long vs short quantities, flag illegal stacks, hiatus, missed elision or correption, and broken bucolic diaeresis. See a foot-by-foot validity strip and one-tap auto-suggest for the nearest legal epithet swap. EXEMPLAR COMPARE BAY Pin your line beside seeded Iliad and Odyssey loci (book.line, public-domain Greek plus a literal gloss) that share the same Zeus formula or type-scene job. Highlight overlapping metrical slots and formulaic diction. FIDELITY RUBRIC Score Metrical Legality, Formulaic Fit, Caesura Craft, and Job Alignment with plain-language rationales tied to seeded rule cards—then lock a pass or revise verdict before save. SCANSION DRILL ARENA Timed rounds for Identify Illegal Combo, Complete the Fifth Foot, Name-the-Caesura, and Restore the Epithet. Each item ships with a worked rationale and a deep link back into the composer using the same chips. VERSE-CARD GALLERY Save titled cards with scansion overlay, rubric scores, exemplar anchors, and job tags. Duplicate, reorder into a short study set, or share as plain text or PNG verse card via the system sheet. RULES AND QUANTITY REFERENCE Interactive boards for elision, correption, epic lengthening, common first-foot patterns, and a Zeus epithet domain map. Every rule card cites at least one seeded locus. FIRST-LAUNCH DEMO PACK One fully built Zeus storm-simile line, one intentional error drill, and three lexicon favorites already on the board—so composer, scansion, compare, drills, and gallery are populated immediately for class prep and App Review alike. Built with SwiftUI, SwiftData, Charts, AVFoundation, WidgetKit, and UniformTypeIdentifiers for a fast, offline-first workbench you can trust before seminar.
