Everything about Epithalamion totally explained
In ancient
Greece an
epithalamion was composed to honor a newlywed couple. The word derives from the Greek
epithalamios which means "of a wedding", epi (of) + thalamos (bridal chamber.) This form continued in popularity through the history of the classical world; the Roman poet
Catullus wrote a famous epithalamion, which was translated from or at least inspired by a now-lost work of
Sappho.
The epithalamion was revived as a poetic form in 1595 by
Edmund Spenser in
Amoretti And Epithalamion, a composition of 89 sonnets, a lyric conclusion, and a 433 line epithalamion.
E. E. Cummings also returns to the form in his poem
Epithalamion, which appears in his 1923 book
Tulips and Chimneys. E.E.Cummings'
Epithalamion consists of three seven octave parts, and includes numerous references to ancient Greece.
