A song of mourning in praise of the dead, sung in the presence of the corpse and distinguished from threnos, a dirge, which was not limited by time or place. The word does not occur before the Alexandrian period, or in Lat. before Statius (1st c. CE), although the lamentations over the bodies of Hector and Achilles in Homer are, properly speaking, epicedia. The epicedium became very popular in the Hellenistic period and was widely imitated in Lat. lit. It was accompanied by a solemn dance with music provided by a flute in the Lydian mode. Written originally in a variety of meters, it was confined after the cl. period entirely to elegiac distichs and hexameters. Epicedia also included lamentations in verse for pet animals and birds.)
