Summary: | Early Greek Relative Clauses contributes to an old debate currently enjoying a revival: should we expect languages spoken a few thousand years ago, such as Proto-Indo-European, to be less well-equipped than modern languages when it comes to subordinate clauses? Early Greek relative clauses provide a test case for this problem, and this volume takes a new look at the relative clause systems found in a wide variety of early Greek texts, considering materialas diverse as the Homeric poems, laws inscribed in stone on the island of Crete, and the philosophical prose of Heraclitus. |
