Relating to or written in the style of Glycon, an ancient Greek poet, or relating to a specific metrical pattern used in Greek poetry.
From Glycon (name of a Greek poet from Ios, circa 2nd century CE) + -ean (a suffix meaning 'of or relating to'). The term preserves the name of a minor but influential ancient poet.
Glyconean verse was so catchy and popular in ancient times that it became a standard form—kind of like how a successful pop song structure gets copied forever, except this one lasted for centuries.
