The main types of syllables within Greek quantitative metres.

Light: u
(…C)V̆ — an open syllable with a short vowel in its nucleus: το, ρε

Heavy: —
(…C)V̄ — an open syllable with a long vowel in its nucleus: τω, ρω
(…C)V̆V̯ — an open syllable with a diphthong in its nucleus: τοι, ρευ
(…C)V̆C — a closed syllable with a short vowel in its nucleus and one consonant in its coda: τοτ, ρερ

The extra-heavy subtype:
Extra-heavy syllables is a subtype of heavy syllables which are accounted for just as long syllables within the Greek tradition, but can be contrasted with the plain long syllables in other poetic traditions and are therefore not to be completely ignored.
(…C)V̄V̯ — an open syllable with a long diphthong in its nucleus: τῃ, ρῳ, τᾳ, τηυ, τωυ, τᾱυ
(…C)V̆CC — a closed syllable with a short vowel in its nucleus and two+ consonants in its coda: τοττ, ρερρ
(…C)V̄C — a closed syllable with a long vowel in its nucleus: τωτ, ρηρ
(…C)V̆V̯C — a closed syllable with a diphthong in its nucleus: τοιτ, ρευρ

Anceps: x
A syllable that can be either long or short (most commonly in the end of the line)

Resolvable long syllables: uu
One heavy syllable: — that can be replaced by two short ones: uu

______

C — a Coɴsoɴᴀɴᴛ: [t] [r] [s] …
V — a Vowᴇʟ irrelevant of its length: [a] [ɔː] [aː] [e] …
V̄ — a long Vowᴇʟ: [ɔː] [aː] [ɛː] …
V̆ — a short Vowᴇʟ: [a] [o] [e] …
V̯ — a Sᴇᴍı-Vowᴇʟ: [w] [j] …
