Hermann's Bridge is the most fundamental feature of Homeric prosody.

You'll find a short syllable at the start of the line more often than you'll find a violation of Hermann's Bridge.

In Homer's dactylic hexameter, there are at least 53 lines that don't start with a dactyl (— ⏑⏑) or spondee (— —), but instead with an amphibrach (⏑ — ⏑), tribrach (⏑⏑⏑), or bacchius (⏑ — —).

(Commentators tend to claim that these are actually secretly dactylic anyway.)

Only 12 lines have a major violation of Hermann's Bridge.

Hermann's Bridge is stricter than the principle of starting the line with a long syllable.

Here are the most serious breaches of Hermann's Bridge in Homer, representing 0.036% of lines.

Other breaches are mitigated by enclitics (13x Il., 12x Od.), a 5-syllable word in the last colon (3x Il, 5x Od.), or a prepositional phrase (1x Il.).

In these,
1. The colon causing the breach is ⏑ — ⏑ in 7 out of 10 cases, — — ⏑ in the other 3.
2. In four, a breach of Varro's Bridge is averted by καί + vowel.
3. One, Od. 12.47, is mitigated by elision.

The more you look into the Homeric hexameter, the more Hermann's Bridge intrudes on absolutely everything.

You want to put ἄειδε after the mid-line caesura for a change? Tough, you're not allowed.

You want to try switching up πλέων ἐπὶ οἴνοπα πόντον with a genitive πλέοντος ἐπ' αἴθοπα πόντον? Nope, not gonna happen.

Oh, so you wanna know why Wernicke's Law is a thing? Take one guess.
