Paromoiōsis (παρομοίωσις assimilation) is parallelism of sound between the words of two clauses either approximately or exactly equal in size. This similarity in sound may appear at the beginning, at the end (homoioteleuton), in the interior, or it may pervade the whole.
μαχομένους μὲν κρείττους εἶναι τῶν πολεμίων, ψηφιζομένους δὲ ἥττους τῶν ἐχθρῶν
by fighting to be superior to our public enemies, and by voting to be weaker than our private enemies
L. 12.79.
