Geschichte der griechischen Sprache: I
Ionic Forms in Homer
‘Homers Sprache ist nicht panhellenisch. Sie kann nur solches Sprachgut enthalten, das bei den Stämmen, die das Epos pflegten, lebendig war.’ Thus Wackernagel, SUH 222. On that principle a word limited to the Ionic dialect—'auf den ionischen Dialekt beschränkt', to use a phrase of Bechtel's—cannot gain entrance to the epos until the epos is being produced by speakers of Ionic. I present two examples: ε ὗντε, already a high-class word, doomed to e…

Three Puzzles in the Language of the Iliad
It is an honor to be invited to contribute to a number of L anguage dedicated to Franklin Edgerton, and it is a pleasure for me to accept the invitation. For that purpose I have selected three notes dealing with the language of the Iliad, which are held together by the fact that all three end with problems of the sort that Edgerton has dealt with so successfully in his reconstruction of the Panchatantra and in his edition of the Sabhāparvan of th…
Homerische Wörter
Anta, Anthn, Anti in the Homeric Poems
Behind the words ăvτα , ăντην, à ντί (all ‘over against’ and the like) lies a noun *ant- ‘front, face’, and by its side another noun *ant-ā of similar meaning. The dative of *ant- is continued in ăντί, its accusative in ăvra; while ăντην continues the accusative of the other noun. Similar groups (cf. Risch 4) may be seen in : ίωκή, : φυγή, άλκί: . The loss of the other cases resulted in the isolation of the surviving forms, and so in a shifting o…

Enθa in the Homeric Poems
Pending further investigation I shall call ἔνθα (‘there, then; where, when, etc.‘) an adverb. I put it into a class of anaphoric substitutes, and regard it as cloven into three sublcasses: A. Demonstrative, non-connective B. Relative, subordinating C. Demonstrative, connective
Oφpa in the Homeric Poems
This paper, which I have the pleasure of offering in honor of one who worked hardest for the establishment of the Linguistic Society, is a study of the syntactic constructions within which the form is included. The selection of such a topic was influenced by two considerations: less seems to me to be known about Homeric syntax than about Homeric phonology and Homeric morphology; the introduction and development of the proper technique for the han…
Word Ends and Haplology
Haplology—the term was coined by Maurice Bloomfield—within a word is a familiar phenomenon. ‘Very many examples,’ says Sturtevant (An Introduction to Linguistic Science §130.5), 'might be cited, but a few will suffice.'
Personal Pronouns in Reflexive Situations in the Iliad
In discussing another problem, Monro 141-2 warns us against allowing ourselves to be led 'into the fallacy of thinking that relations which are distinct to us, because expressed by different language, were distinctly conceived by those who expressed them all in the same way;-the fallacy, in short, of supposing the distinctions of thought to be prior to the language which embodies them.' The warning seems to me of special value in dealing with my …

The Etymology of ΙΧΩΡ
In the fifth book of the Iliad is a tangle of textual and linguistic problems. The poet, after telling how Diomedes stabbed Aphrodite's arm near the hand, finishes (if we disregard for a moment lines 340–2, which will turn out to be an interpolation) his description of the encounter (339)
Dative Plural of the o- and the ā-Stems in Homer
Typical examples of the forms found in our editions are ‘Aχαιοισι, ‘Aχcuoις, and θ∊ σι, θ∊ ς. We need not linger over the fact (cf. Wackernagel 53 n.) that forms ending in - αις are found: without variant at M 284, ∊ 119, in a noteworthy number of MSS at A 238, χ 471, and sporadically as a weakly attested variant elsewhere. That is of interest for the history of the transmission of the text, but not in any other connection. In Homer we have to do…

Troy: A Study in Homeric Geography
Walter Leaf (1852–1927), banker, classicist and alpinist, held various positions as chairman of the Westminster Bank, founder of the London Chamber of Commerce and president of the Hellenic Society, reflecting his wide-ranging professional and scholarly interests. Leaf was educated at Harrow School and Trinity College, Cambridge, of which he became a fellow in 1875. As a scholar, Leaf was concerned with uncovering the physical reality of the clas…

Kandaules
With regard to the vowel of the final syllable, Hesychius offers a gloss K · ‘E ‘H , and on this basis some modern scholars distinguish a god Kandaulas and a king Kandaules. I think that the validity of this distinction may be doubted. Hipponax’ vocative K is the proper form to K , cf. . So Hesychius, if his copyists are not at fault, has either formed the nominative wrongly from K or drawn on a non-Ionic source. For Ionic we need reckon with K a…

On the Dual in Homer
[An effort is made to show that none of the Alexandrians attempted to foist his theory of the dual into the text of Homer, but that each followed the manuscript evidence as he had it. Instances of the 'false' dual are found chiefly in interpolations, although there are one, or possibly two, passages in which a 'false' dual has been created by the use of borrowed materials. ]
