Homeric Greek has a particularly rich system of moods which are
analysed in this 2007 book in the light of theoretical interest in
the semantic domain of modality. The domain is one of the most
complex and interesting, since modal forms are used for the most
'subjective' of messages, expressing our beliefs, intentions,
desires, abilities and wishes. Incorporating findings from the
theory of grammaticalisation, this study considers the Homeric
Greek modal system from a diachronic perspective and offers a
radical revision of traditional accounts. Providing insights into
both individual constructions as well as the overall system of
modality in Greek, it will be of interest to general linguists,
linguists studying ancient Greek, and also scholars interested in
fundamental questions of meaning in Greek. The indices, where all
the instances of the moods in the Homeric poems are categorised
into types, also make it useful as a research tool.
