A reprint, with new introductory essay, of the D. Reidel edition of
1973. This reissue of Charles Kahn's classic work includes a
substantial new introductory essay, which presents a reformulation
of the theory of syntactic and semantic unity for the system of
uses of the verb be in Greek (conceived primarily as a verb of
predication), and hence a defense of the conceptual unity for the
notion of Being in Greek philosophy. The book offers a systematic
description of the use and grammar of the verb to be in Ancient
Greek, before the philosophers took it over to express the central
concepts in Greek logic and metaphysics. Evidence is taken
primarily from Homer but supplemented by specimens from classical
Attic prose. Topics discussed include the original status of the
verb in Indo-European, as well as the logical and syntactic
relations among copula, existential, and veridical uses.
