How did Ancient Greek express that an event occurred at a
particular time, for a certain duration, or within a given time
frame? The answer to these questions depends on a variety of
conditions - the nature of the time noun, the tense and aspect of
the verb, the particular historical period of Greek during which
the author lived - that existing studies of the language do not
take sufficiently into account. This book accordingly examines the
circumstances that govern the use of the genitive, dative, and
accusative of time, as well as the relevant prepositional
constructions, primarily in Greek prose of the fifth century BC
through the second century AD, but also in Homer. While the focus
is on developments in Greek, translations of the examples, as well
as a fully glossed summary chapter, make it accessible to linguists
interested in the expression of time generally.
