SynopsisA clear and detailed treatment of the complexities of Greek syntax, this 1867 handbook by Harvard professor William W. Goodwin influenced generations of students and remains a valuable resource for scholars of Greek. It contains numerous examples in Greek with English translations, taken from a wide range of classical writers., William W. Goodwin (1831-1912) was Eliot Professor of Greek at Harvard from 1860 to 1901, and was the first director of the American School in Athens. This, his most important book, was written for nineteenth-century American students to make available to them the latest European developments in the understanding of Greek syntax, as well as his own original material. It went through several editions between 1860 and 1890, and remains an invaluable resource for scholars of the Greek language. This is a reissue of the 1867 edition, published in Cambridge Massachusetts by Sever and Francis. It presents a detailed and well organized discussion of moods, tenses, infinitive, participles and verbal adjectives. Goodwin includes a large collection of examples taken from a wide range of major Greek writers to illustrate every variety of each construction. An index of these examples is also provided for easy reference.
