* This is intended to be used as rhythm backing when reading the Iliad metrically. It is arranged in seven beats - six for the hexameter proper, plus one which signals the preparation for a new verse. Chords are changed on feet 1, 3, and 5, in the hope that this would help to better recognizing/internalizing the hexemeter rhythm.
