Definition of Epistrophe. Epistrophe is a figure of speech that involves the repetition of a word or phrase at the end of successive clauses or sentences. Epistrophe is also known as epiphora or antistrophe. The word epistrophe comes from the Greek for âreturn.â. The definition of epistrophe is opposite to that of anaphora, which is the repetition of words at the beginning of successive clauses or sentences.
Anaphora (rhetoric) In rhetoric, an anaphora (Greek: á¼Î½Î±ÏÎ¿ÏÎ¬, carrying back) is a rhetorical device that consists of repeating a sequence of words at the beginnings of neighboring clauses, thereby lending them emphasis. In contrast, an epistrophe (or epiphora) is repeating words at the clauses' ends.
