The Use of the Prepositions in Apollonius Rhodius: Compared with Their Use in Homer (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Use of the Prepositions in Apollonius Rhodius: Compared With Their Use in Homer
The aim of the present work is to compare Apol louins with Homer in prepositional usages. The prepositions make a good, though rugged, field for comparison, because the standard taken by Apollonius had to be not only negative, by avoiding post Homeric uses, but also positive, by adopting forms and uses which had never crossed the boundaries of epic poetry and were, for that reason, artificial. For many valuable suggestions in the work I Wish to acknowl edge my indebtedness to Dr. Bolling. To Dr. Miller of the Johns Hopkins University I am grate ful for the final examination of the manuscript.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the use of prepositions in the Greek epic poetry tradition, exploring their diverse roles as independent adverbs and in prepositional phrases with cases. The author discusses the historical evolution of prepositions from their adverbial origins to their eventual incorporation into compound verbs, and traces the development of tmesis, where prepositions are separated from the verb they modify. The book analyzes the frequency and positioning of prepositions in the works of Homer and Apollonius Rhodius, comparing their distinct approaches to prepositional usage. Through a close examination of specific examples, the author sheds light on the subtle variations in meaning and emphasis that can be achieved through the strategic placement of prepositions. This detailed study enhances our understanding of the stylistic nuances and grammatical complexities of ancient Greek epic poetry. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332619665_0
