Opis

English speakers find it hard to explain why they say something happens at a particular time, but on a certain day, and in a given year; however this book does just that for Ancient Greek, describing not only variation among Classical authors, but also diachronic change in the following centuries.

Recenzje

'The book is handsomely presented and well edited … It will take pride of place in all discussions of grammatical Greek time in the future.' Simon Oswald, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
