  1. C.W. ShelmerdineIntroduction to Greek 2nd edition(Newburyport, MA: Focus, 2008) Chapters 31-33 leftovers

  2. Shelmerdine Chapter 31 • The perfect system • The perfect and pluperfect active indicative of regular verbs (4th principal part) • The perfect and pluperfect middle/passive indicative of regular verbs (5th principal part) • The dative of personal agent • The perfect infinitive (4th and 5th principal parts) • Result (consecutive) clauses

  3. Shelmerdine Chapter 31 6. Result (consecutive) clauses • This chapter introduces ways to express result in ancient Greek. • A result clause (also called a “consecutive” clause), as its name suggests, refers to one action which is the result of another action.

  4. Shelmerdine Chapter 31 6. Result (consecutive) clauses • English can express several types of result clauses: • Socrates is such a great man that he always tells the truth. • Socrates is so wise that he always tells the truth. • Socrates is too wise not to tell the truth.

  5. Shelmerdine Chapter 31 6. Result (consecutive) clauses • In Greek, ὥστεintroduces a result clause. Usually a word such as οὕτως,τοιοῦτος or τοσοῦτοςsets up the clause: • ὁ Σωκράτης τοσοῦτός ἐστιν ὥστε τἀληθῆ λέγει ἀεί . • Socrates is such a great man that he always tells the truth. • οὕτως ὁ Σωκράτης σοφός ἐστιν ὥστε τἀληθῆ λέγει ἀεί. • Socrates is so wise that he always tells the truth.

  6. Shelmerdine Chapter 31 6. Result (consecutive) clauses • If a comparative sets up the clause, ἤwill also appear: • ὁ Σωκράτης σοφώτερός ἐστιν ἢ ὥστε τὰ ψευδῆ εἶπεν. • Socrates is too wiseto have told lies. (Socrates is wiser than to have told lies).

  7. Shelmerdine Chapter 31 6. Result (consecutive) clauses • If the result has not actually happened, but is hypothetical or theoretical, the verb in the result clause becomes an infinitive: • ὁ Σωκράτης τοιοῦτός ἐστιν ὥστε τἀληθῆ λέγειν ἀεί. • Socrates is the sort of person who always tells the truth. • ὁ Σωκράτης σοφός ἐστιν ὥστε τὰ ψευδῆ μὴλέγειν. • Socrates is wise enough not to tell lies.

  8. Shelmerdine Chapter 31 for next class (Tuesday, April 26, 2011): • Quiz: Vocabulary Chapter 32 • Verbs: omit ἐκβαίνω • Prepare Xenophon Reading

  9. Shelmerdine Chapter 32 • The 2nd (strong) perfect active • Reduplication • The perfect middle/passive of consonant stem verbs • The perfect active participle • The perfect middle/passive participle • Supplementary participles not in indirect statement

  10. Shelmerdine Chapter 32 6. Supplementary participles not in indirect statement • You have seen a number of verbs which complete their meaning with an infinitive: • ἐθέλω μένειν. “I want to stay.” • κελεύω σε μένειν. “I order you to stay.” • This use of the infinitive is called the “complementary infinitive.”

  11. Shelmerdine Chapter 32 6. Supplementary participles not in indirect statement • Some verbs complete their meaning with a circumstantial participle. • This use of the participle is called the “supplementary participle” but is really just a technical term for a specialized use of circumstantial participles for verbs that virtually always use them. • This section gives examples of three verbs which use supplementary participles: τυγχάνω, λανθάνω andφθάνω.

  12. Shelmerdine Chapter 32 6. Supplementary participles not in indirect statement • τυγχάνω means “meet by chance” • τυγχάνω τοῦ φύλακος. “I meet the guard by chance” or “I happen to run into the guard.” • An accompanying supplementary participle expresses what the subject happens to be doing at the time. • τυγχάνω βαίνων οἴκαδε. “I happen to be walking home.” • Notice that English normally expresses this idea with an infinitive (“to walk”) rather than a participle.

  13. Shelmerdine Chapter 32 6. Supplementary participles not in indirect statement • λαγχάνω means “escape notice.” The accompanying supplementary participle expresses what the subject is doing at the time. • λαγχάνω τὸν φύλακαφεύγων. “I escape the guard’s notice while I escape”  “I escape without the guard noticing.” • λαγχάνω φεύγων. “I escape without being noticed.” • Notice that English makes the action of the participle (“escape”) the main verb.

  14. Shelmerdine Chapter 32 6. Supplementary participles not in indirect statement • φθάνω means “do something before” someone or anyone else. The accompanying supplementary participle expresses what the subject does. • φθάνω τὸν ἵππονἄγων. “As I lead the horse, I am doing it before anyone else.”  “I lead the horse first.” • φθάνω σε τὸν ἵππονἄγων.“I lead the horse before you do.” • Notice that English makes the action of the participle (“lead”) the main verb.

  42. Shelmerdine Chapter 33 5. Clauses of fearing • This chapter presents clauses of fearing. • In both Greek and English, verbs which refer to fear set up clauses which explain what the speaker fears. • In English, “that,” or no conjunction at all, can set up such a clause: • I am afraid (that) the enemy is coming.

  43. Shelmerdine Chapter 33 5. Clauses of fearing • In Greek, a verb of fearing sets up a clause beginning with μή, which, even though it technically means “not,” must be omitted in translation.

  44. Shelmerdine Chapter 33 5. Clauses of fearing • φοβοῦμαι μὴ οἱ πολέμιοι ἔρχονται. • I am afraid the enemy is coming. • φοβοῦμαι μὴ οὐ οἱ πολέμιοι ἔρχονται. • I am afraid the enemy is not coming. • φοβοῦμαι μὴ οἱ πολέμιοι ἦλθον. • I am afraid the enemy came.

  45. Shelmerdine Chapter 33 5. Clauses of fearing • If the feared event is some possibility in the future, the verb in the fearing clause changes to the subjunctive or optative. • As with other clauses, in primary sequence the verb becomes subjunctive, while in secondary sequence it generally becomes optative.

  46. Shelmerdine Chapter 33 5. Clauses of fearing • φοβοῦμαι μὴ οἱ πολέμιοι ἔρχωνται. • I am afraid the enemy will (could, might) come. • ἐφοβούμην μὴ οἱ πολέμιοι ἔρχοιντο. • I was afraid the enemy wouldcome.

  48. Shelmerdine Chapter 33 6. Indirect questions • Previous chapters have introduced direct questions (24.4, 25.4, 29.4, 29.6). • Where are the people? • An indirect question is one reported rather than asked directly. • I know where the people are.

  49. Shelmerdine Chapter 33 6. Indirect questions • Greek may mark indirect questions in one or both of two ways. • The indirect question usually has a different interrogative than the direct question. • Following a verb in a secondary tense (imperfect, aorist, pluperfect), the verb of the indirect question may change to the optative mood.

  50. Shelmerdine Chapter 33 6. Indirect questions • Recall that ἆραsets up a yes/no question. • ἆρ’ οἱ ἄνθρωποι πάρεισιν; • Are the people near? • In an indirect questions, εἰnormally replaces ἆρα. • ἐρωτῶ εἰ οἱ ἄνθρωποι πάρεισιν. • I ask if (whether) the people are near.
