Moods of Homeric Greek

Klappentext A 2007 account of the origin and development of the grammatical moods in Greek. Zusammenfassung Traditional grammars of Classical Greek concentrate on the use of the grammatical moods in Attic Greek. This 2007 text analyses their uses in the Iliad and the Odyssey and argues that the more fluid and complex situation observable there has important consequences for understanding the origin and development of the forms.
