Riassunto

Excerpt from A Comparison of Apollonius Rhodius With Homer in Prepositional Usage: A Dissertation Presented to the Board of University Studies of the Johns Hopkins University for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy

The term tmesis is used here merely for convenience. Properly there is no such thing; it is a misnomer used by the grammarians who regarded the inde pendent place Of the prepositions in Homer as deviations from the later established usage, and so a severance' from the compound verb. (cf. Monro, Horn. Gram., p. Scholars are now agreed that prepositions were originally local adverbs and as such distinct from the verb, till they finally coalesced with it forming a verbal compound. Obviously, then, the distinction between tmesis and the adverbial use of prepositions cannot always be rigidly drawn. Often it is hard to tell to which a given use is to be assigned. The principle has been followed, in making the statistics here presented, of assigning a use to tmesis when the preposition and the verb are such as appear in composition, unless the meaning Obviously demands that the preposition be taken as a pure adverb. If any uses have been classified under the one head that belong under the other, it makes no difference as far as the comparison is concerned so long as the same principle Of classification has been followed in both poets.
