Epimone is a rhetorical device in which a speaker dwells on a point by repeating it over and over, often with slight variation.
It’s used for emphasis, persuasion, or emotional effect.
Think of it like hammering an idea into the audience’s mind.

✅ Definition:

Repetitive dwelling on a single point, phrase, or idea to emphasize its importance.

💡 Example (original):

• We must act now. Act now, before it’s too late. Act now, while we still have the chance.

Here, “act now” is repeated to stress urgency.

---

💡 Another example (emotion-focused):

• He lied to me—lied to my face, lied to my heart, lied to everyone.

The repetition underscores betrayal.
