A type of inductive reasoning or a rhetorical return to a previous point to develop it further; also known as anaphora in some contexts.
From Greek 'epanagōgḗ,' composed of 'epí' (again) plus 'anagōgḗ' (a leading up). The term combines the idea of returning and leading, suggesting circular argument development.
Poets and speakers use epanagoge to create emotional resonance—by circling back to an earlier idea but approaching it from a new angle, they make audiences suddenly see something familiar in a completely new way.
