Synantesis; or Introverted Repetition
The Repetition of the same Sentences or Phrases in Inverse Order
Syn-an-tee´-sis, from συναντάω (sunantaô), to meet face to face, means a meeting.
It is similar to Epanodos and Antimetabole (q.v. [Note: Which see.] ), but differs from them in that it relates to the inverse repetition of sentences and phrases rather than of single words.
See, for examples, under Parallelism and Correspondence, below.
