in classical Greek drama:
the second choral movement in which the chorus dances to the right, in the opposite direction to the strophe (the first movement)
the section of the ode sung by the chorus during this movement, usu having the same metre as the strophe (the section sung during the first movement)
in poetry, the second of two contrasting metrical forms
[via late Latin from Greek antistrophē, from anti- + strophē: see strophe]
