To compare the use of interlinear hiatus in Sophocles’s and Seneca’s Works is very informative. Not only does the study of this phenomenon highlight its stylistic value, but it also reveal that the two poets made opposite choices in the use of prosodic devices: il the average practices of interlinear hiatus are quite similar, one can nonetheless note diverging uses like that of interlocutory hiatus or of the hiatus after a «narrow enjambement».
