In Latin and Greek poetry, correption (Latin: correptiō [kɔrˈrɛpt̪ioː], "a shortening") is the shortening of a long vowel at the end of one word before a vowel at the beginning of the next. Vowels next to each other in neighboring words are in hiatus. Homer uses correption in dactylic hexameter:
* Ἄνδρα μοι ἔννεπε, Μοῦσα, πολύτροπον, ὃς μάλα πολλὰπλάγχθη, ἐπεὶ Τροίης ἱερὸν πτολίεθρον ἔπερσε·— Odyssey 1.2
* Tell me, O Muse, of the man of many devices, who wandered fullmany ways after he had sacked the sacred citadel of Troy.— translation by A.T. Murray

* Tell me, O Muse, of the man of many devices, who wandered fullmany ways after he had sacked the sacred citadel of Troy.— translation by A.T. Murray Here the sequence η ε in bold must be pronounced as ε ε to preserve the long—short—short syllable weight sequence of a dactyl. Thus, the scansion of the second line is thus: πλαγχ θε, ε | πει Τροι | η ςι ε | ρον πτο λι | εθ ρο νε | περ σε (en)
