Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a substantial and deeply researched work that examines the preposition em in ancient Greek, a word relating to superpostion and proximity. The author's investigation reveals 3 basic uses: superposition with physical objects (on), proximity (near), and proximity in time (at, in the period of). This book significantly expands our understanding of this preposition in the Greek of Homer, the Greek dramatists, historians, and philosophers, and is divided into 8 sections. The sections contain lists of words with em, enabling the reader to track usage over several periods of the language. The author notes that em gained abstract uses in later prose, which enabled it to express relationships that were more mental, temporal, or conditional. The author suggests that this notable shift in Greek thought is reflected in the development of em to express such ideas as "in the thoughts of" , "in the works of", and so on.
