A hands-on Homeric dactylic-hexameter and Zeus name-epithet composition studio for Homeric Greek students, classics undergrads, AP/college Greek instructors, and epic-translation workshops who must lock metrically legal Zeus formulas and short invocation or type-scene lines before class drills and close-reading seminars. The core loop is pick a verse job → choose quantity-tagged Zeus name forms and epithets from a seeded epic lexicon → drop them into a six-foot hexameter slot board with live scansion → run a fidelity check against Iliad/Odyssey loci and a formulaic-authenticity rubric → save reusable verse cards and timed scansion drills—fully offline with dense seed content so every composer, drill, and compare screen is populated on first launch.
