The Hypakoe or Ypakoe (Greek: Υπακοή, from the verb υπακούω, "hearken" or "give ear") is a troparion sung at Matins on Great Feasts and Sundays:
- On some Great Feasts it occurs after Ode Three of the Canon, and on Pascha it is also sung again at the Liturgy with the Paschal troparion and kontakion.
- On Sundays it comes after the Evlogitaria of the Resurrection and the Small Litany.
- The Sunday Hypakoe is also read at the Sunday Midnight Office, after the Canon to the Trinity.[1]
The first Hypakoe was composed by the Emperor Leo the Wise (who reigned in 886 and died in 912), in reference to the obedient hearing of the myrrh-bearing women.[2]
