Draw a ccomparison between the Epithalamion and the Prothalamion as wedding songs. Answer with suitable examples. 

: 

The main difference between epithalamion and prothalamion is that epithalamion is a poem celebrating marriage full of traditional imagery and is comparatively longer and more elaborate than prothalamion, which usually celebrates engagement.

Epithalamion and prothalamion are both poems celebrating the union of two people. However, an epithalamion is less personal than a prothalamion and includes fewer references to the poet’s own country and situation.

Epithalamion is a poem or a song recited for the bride and bridegroom at their wedding. Epithalamion is also called Epithalamium or Epithalamy.  Ancient Greeks used to sing such songs hoping that they would bring good fortune on the marriage.

Epithalamion is usually sung at the marriage chamber. However, today we use the same term to refer to a song sung during the wedding processions that contains repeated invocations to Hymen, ____ ______ __________ ____ ________ ______ ________ ____ ___.
