2 A few things to note about Greek verbs 1.The ending on a verb tells us what person it is in. λύεις = you (sg.) loosen λύετε = you (pl.) loosen 2.No need to use a pronoun. λύω = Ι loosen When a pronoun is used, it is emphatic. ἐγὼ λύω = I [Achilles] am doing the loosening [rather than you Patroklos] 3.To some extent, word order does not matter. ὁ Αχιλλέας λύει τὴν ἡνίαν = λύει τὴν ἡνίαν ὁ Αχιλλέας.

3 subject is singular ὁ Αχιλλέας λύει τὴν ἡνίαν. τὴν ἡνίαν ὁ Αχιλλέας λύει. λύει τὴν ἡνίαν ὁ Αχιλλέας. Achilles loosens the reins. subject is plural ὁ Αχιλλέας καἰ ὁ Πάτροκλος λύουσι τὴν ἡνίαν. τὴν ἡνίαν ὁ Αχιλλέας καἰ ὁ Πάτροκλος λύουσι. λύουσι τὴν ἡνίαν ὁ Αχιλλέας καἰ ὁ Πάτροκλος. Achilles and Patroklos loosen the reins.

4 Some Uses of the Genitive, Dative, Accusative Επίδαυρος GENITIVE possession with prepositions value ὀβολοῦ personal agent with ὑπό certain verbs ἀκούω genitive absolute genitive of comparison partitive genitive time DATIVE indirect object (to, for) with prepositions possession with Σωκράτει βιβλίον ἐστίν. means λιθοῖς, ξίφει manner χαρᾷ, λύπῃ place which ὁδῷ agent (with passive verb) with certain verbs a point in time ACCUSATIVE direct object with prepositions duration of time respect accusative absolute πάροδος σκηνή ὀρχέστρα πάροδος

5 Εnclitics ( lean on the word they follow) If preceding word has ultima + circumflex/grave, accent of enclitic vanishes; if preceding word has ultima/grave, it becomes acute. σκηνῆς εἰσι, μικρός γε. If preceding word has antepenult/acute or penult/ circumflex, accent of enclitic vanishes; preceding word gets 2nd accent (acute) on ultima. ἄνθρωπός ἐστι, δῶρόν γε. If preceding word is another enclitic or proclitic, it gets ultima/acute. ἄνθρωποι ἐστέ γε, οὔκ ἐσμεν. If preceding word has penult/acute, accent of 1-syllable enclitic vanishes φίλη γε but 2-syllable enclitic gets ultima/ acute φίλη εἰμί or ultima/circumflex. φίλων τινῶν

8 Notes about things that came up during class gerund = verbal noun (vs. participle = verbal adjective) In Greek, the infinitive + definite article is used for this fleeing = τὸ φεῦγειν κακόν seizing τὸ ἁρπάζειν Fleeing is cowardly. τὸ φεῦγειν κακόν From translating (Greek to English) sentences in class: Lesson 23 #4 ζητέω ἐζητησαμεν accusative of duration of time For many days we have sought the animals which our lord wishes to have. The animals which our lord wishes to have we have sought for many days. #6 ἀγγέλλων ἀγγείλας ἠγγελκώς, ἠγγελκυῖα, ἠγγελκός ἔχω, εἶχον + infinitive = be able ὁράω (imperf=ἑώρων), ὄψομαι, εἶδον, ἑόρακα ἑώρακα, ἑώραμαι ὦμμαι. see While/as long as she [this/that] whom I serve was seeing/watching me, I myself was not able to steal some obols. Lesson 24 #1 λείπω, λείψω, ἔλιπον, λέλοιπα, λέλειμμαι Those/The ones/the (m.pl.nom.) abandoning/leaving on this day the country are neither without hope nor fear. Those who are abandoning the country on this day are neither without hope nor without fear. #6 It is time we, being not still/no longer children, have/take grace/ thanks for the we/us well having taught. ---> for those having taught us well. --> for those who have taught us well.

9 PARTICIPLES Present Future Aorist Perfect λυσάμενος, λυσαμένη, λυσάμενον Middle Passive λυόμενος, λυομένη, λυόμενον loosening for oneself being loosened λυσόμενος, λυσομένη, λυσόμενον about to loosen for oneself λυθησόμενος, λυθησομένη, λυθησόμενον loosening / having loosened for oneself λιπόμενος, λιπομένη, λιπόμενον leaving / having left for oneself λυθείς, λυθεῖσα, λυθέν You don t need to know these till after class on 6/16/16 λελυμένος, λελυμένη, λελυμένον having loosened for oneself having been loosened about to be loosened being loosened / having been loosened

10 Participles of εἰμί Present active, being ontology ὤν οὖσα ὄν ὄντες οὖσαι ὄντα ὄντος οὔσης ὄντος ὄντων οὐσῶν ὄντων ὄντι οὔσῃ ὄντι οὖσι(ν) οὐσαις οὖσι(ν) ὄντα οὖσαν ὄν ὄντας οὔσας ὄντα Future middle (deponent forms), about to be ἐσόμενος, ἐσομένη, ἐσόμενον < - ἔσεσθαι ἐσομένου ἐσομένης ἐσομένου ἐσομένῳ ἐσομένῃ ἐσομένῳ

11 Uses of Participles Tenses of Participles Attributive translate as adjective (add -ing, -ed to make an adj.) translate as relative clause the one who writes use as substantive ὀ γράφων the writer, the man writing Indicate aspect or time as related to the main verb present = contemporaneous time; imperfective aspect Circumstantial predicate position time, manner, means, cause, condition, other attendant circumstance > translate as: while, since, because, if, as, although (used in place of an adverbial clause) sometimes a particle (ὡς, ἅτε, καίπερ) is added genitive absolute (noun + participle in genitive case) βοῆς ἀκουομένης ἐφοβοῦμεν, with the shout being hear we feared. Supplementary fills out the meaning of certain verbs: ἄρχω, παύω, λανθάνω, τυγχάνω aorist = time before the action of the main verb; aoristic aspect perfect = contemporaneous with time of main verb but action has now/already been completed; perfective aspect future = time after the action of the main verb; action is still in the future but anticipated

12 Relative Clauses Subordinate clause Like an attributive adjective, modifies noun/pronoun Relative pronoun has same gender & number as its antecedent in the main part of the sentence Antecedent can be placed before or after the relative pronoun Antecedent may be demonstrative pronoun. Antecedent may be omitted. Antecedent can be attracted into the case of its antecedent. If the antecedent is a demonstrative pronoun and the rel.pron. is attracted into the case of its antecedent, dem.pron. can drop out. πράττουσι ταῦθ ἃ ἐθέλομεν. ἃ ἐθέλομεν ταῦτα πράττουσι. ἃ ἐθέλομεν πράττουσι. πράττουσι ἃ ἐθέλομεν. Relative adverb may be attracted to a demonstrative antecedent and take its place. πράττουσι ταῦθ ἃ ἐθέλομεν. ἃ ἐθέλομεν ταῦτα πράττουσι. ἃ ἐθέλομεν πράττουσι. πράττουσι ἃ ἐθέλομεν.

17 Formation of Adverbs Take off ending ος ης and add ως: ἀληθῆς ἀληθῶς, καλός καλῶς, αὐτός αὔτως, πᾶς παντῶς, οὗτος οὕτως Use the neuter singular/ plural accusative of an adjective: μόνον, νέον, πολύ, πολλά Irregular adverbs/special cases: ἀγαθός εὖ, ὅδε ὧδε, πολλάκις (often), τήμερον (today) Directional Suffixes -ι, -θι, -σι. at, in. place where (locative). -ου, the sign of the genitive, is also common. -θεν. from. place whence (ablative). -δε (-ζε), -σε. to, toward. place whither οἴκοι (οἴκοθι) at home ἄλλοθι (ἀλλαχοῦ ) elsewhere ἀμφοτέρωθι on both sides παντ-αχ-οῖ in every direction πάντ-ο-θεν (rare) αὐτοῦ in the very place ὁμοῦ at the same place οἴκοθεν from home ἄλλοθεν (ἀλλαχόθεν) from elsewhere ἀμφοτέρωθεν from both sides παντ-αχ-ό-θεν from every side πάντ-ο-σε αὐτό-θεν from the very place ὁμόθεν from the same place Ἀθήνησι at Athens Ἀθήνηθεν from Athens Ὀλυμπίασι at Olympia Ὀλυμπίαθεν from Olympia οἴκαδε (οἶκόνδε) homeward ἄλλοσε (ἀλλαχόσε) elsewhither (ἀμφοτέρωσε to both sides) παντ-αχ-ό-σε in all directions αὐτό-σε to the very place ὁμόσε to the same place Ἀθήναζε to Athens Ὀλυμπίαζε to Olympia

18 Comparison of Adjectives If the penult is long by nature (long vowel, diphthong) or by position (short vowel followed by 2 consonants), ο is not lengthened: λεπτός lean, λεπτότερος, λεπτότατος δηλος δικαιος πικρός bitter [positive], πικρότερος more bitter, bitterer, rather bitter [comparative], πικρότατος most bitter, bitterest, very bitter [superlative]. Adjectives in -ος with a short penult lengthen ο to ω: νεώ-τατος, χαλεπός difficult, χαλεπώτερος, χαλεπώτατος. An undue succession of short syllables is thus avoided. -ior, -ius -issimus, illimus See doc=perseus:text: :par t=2:chapter=14 to say x is more than y use conjugation ἤ (=than) ἡ ἥ ᾕ genitive of comparison to express the highest degree possible use ὡς, ὅτι + superlative ὡς μέγιστος as big as possible, ὅτι δεινότατος as terrible as possible
