PREFACEThis Grammar has been revised and in part re-written, butthe general arrangement remains as it was. To change thismight have done away with something that commended it toteachers ; for the success of a school-book is often due to thefortunate accident of one man's work happening to meet theviews of the majority.
If the book is larger, it is not that I have abandoned theidea from which it first sprang, namely, that the part of anelementary grammar is to state rules and leave exceptionsout ; but in response to the criticism of many who have usedthe book, the presentment of the matter has been made moreclear and attractive by printing on two pages what beforewa< printed on one. Indeed far from relinquishing the firstidea I have carried it out more faithfully, omitting suchforms as occur seldom and selecting as examples of inflexionthe most common words that I could find. As the grammar
written when men had but begun to urge the views towhich it was meant to give shape, I was glad of an oppor-tunity of incorporating in a new edition the latest results ofthe free discussion of the last ten or twelve years. And such;m opportunity came when it was proposed to publish I
k Course of which this First Greek Grammar should bethe starting point.

VI PREFACEThe aim of the new series is to bring into the fore-
ground the great main lines of Greek accidence and syntax,in short to teach the regular and ordinary modes of expres-sion in use at the time when the most precise of languageshad reached its highest precision. Accordingly it was neces-sary carefully to revise the Grammar if it was to take itsproper place in the series.
I have to acknowledge a great deal of very generous andvalued help, not only from my colleagues and friends, butalso from many others who in using the book had detectederrors or observed ways of improving it. More especially Ihave to thank my colleague Mr. Heard for many suggestionsand much assistance.
Perhaps I ought to add that though I have " atticized "as far as possible, I have still remembered that the compilerof an elementary grammar must be governed more or less bythe texts which are in use, and have retained such spellingsas TcdeiKa and clpya^ofirjv even if stone records prove thatredrjKa and rjpya^ofxrjv are the true forms.

PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITIONThis First Greek Grammar differs from others in someimportant respects. It is compiled on a new principle, andcontains much matter which has hitherto not appeared inelementary books, and some facts that are the fruits ofindependent research.
The First Part comprises only such forms as it is necessaryfor a beginner to know, and these are put as clearly andsuccinctly as the nature of the case allows. Every effort wasmade to avoid the necessity of explanations in English,tomake in fact the lesson for the day appear as short aspossible to the jealous eye of the pupil, while at the sametime the local memory of the eye, which is so strong in youth,might be brought as largely as possible into play.
In the teaching of a synthetic language like Greek orLatin, practical schoolmasters are not likely to underestimatethe importance of drill in grammatical forms. In suchlanguages the relation between the different words of a
nee can never be clearly understood till the learnerbecomes thoroughly familiar with the principal inflexions.Familiarity with the accidence is the first step towards ap-
i -itive translation. It is true that some boys can learn

vm PREFACEinflexions with ease who are never able to acquire facility intranslation, but it is equally true that without a precise
knowledge of grammatical forms even an intelligent boyloses much of the crispness of the thought.My original design was thus merely to provide a drill
book for beginners, more accurately compiled than thosegenerally in use. Further information each master mightimpart for himself. But the success of the book promptedme to add a Second Part which should supply remarks onthe forms included in the First Part, as well as additionalmatter of a more advanced kind. In this way much hasbeen added which is not to be found in ordinary Grammars,and the relegation of the paradigms to a separate part hasenabled me to discuss interesting points of Grammar in away which would otherwise have been impossible. SuchChapters as the Third, the Twelfth, and the Seventeenthwill, it is hoped, be specially useful in awakening an in-telligent interest in a subject too apt to become dull.
Different teachers will have different methods of teachingthe Second Part. My own system is gradually to impartadditional information contemporaneously with the drill ininflexions. If this is done the pupil finds that little is leftfor him to learn when he comes to the Second Part.
I have thought it prudent to leave unaltered many formswhich usually, though wrongly, find a place in Greek para-digms, as few Greek texts have yet been brought intoharmony with the latest results of critical scholarship. Ihave even retained for the sake of old association such absurd

forms as the Imperative XcXimcc The time will come whenthey will disappear from Greek Grammars, but an elementaryGrammar is not the place in which first to omit them.
I regret that an accelerated -ale made it necessary toreprint the First Part before any corrections were made, butall errors will be carefully eliminated as soon as anotheropportunity occurs.

2 FIRST GREEK GRAMMARII. Before kappa, gamma, chi, and xi the letter gamma
has the sound of n, as in ink, sing.
III. Vowels. The vowels are divided into open, a,e T), o co, and into narrow, i, v.
IV.- Consonants. The most important are the Mutes,which are so named because we are not able to pronouncethem without the help of a vowel. They are nine in number.Three are pronounced by contact of the tongue and hardpalate, three by the lips, and three by bringing the tongueagainst the teeth.
hard soft aspirated
palatals or palate-sounds K 7 Xlabials or lip-sounds . . IT p identals or tooth-sounds T 8 e
From this table we see that they are again divided intosets of three, each set containing a guttural, a dental, anda labial.The letters xi, psi, and zeta are called double lettersfor f= kg, ^ = 7rcr, and f= 8 with a soft o\
V. Signs. The Greeks had no letter like the Latin orEnglish h, but they had a sign l which served instead.

FIRST GREEK GRAMMAR 3Thus Jj/Da was pronounced l'>m, and the sign is always sowritten over the vowel to which it belongs. This sign iscalled spiritus asper, or rough breathing. The letter rho isthe only consonant with which it is used, and when rhobegins a word it is never without it. If the vowel upsllonbegins a word it has always this sign.
The sign ' simply marks the absence of the spiritusasper.
DECLENSION OF SUBSTANTIVES ANDADJECTIVES.
VI.The inflexion of nouns and pronouns is calleddeclension. The fixed part of the word is called the stem,the changeable part is called the case-ending or termination.The nominative case must never be confounded with thestem.
VII.The Greeks distinguished in declension :(1) Three numbers :The singular for one, the dual for
two, or a pair, and the plural for several.(2) Five cases :nominative, vocative, accusative, geni-
tive, dative.
(3) Three genders :masculine, feminine, neuter.VIII.All these, except the vocative case, are seen inthe declension of the article " the."
Vowels long by nature, except ij and , are marked long, unless they carrytht circumflex u< i

Obs. 1.The iota written under the long vowel in thedative singular is called iota subscript. It is not pronounced.
Obs. 2.The dual number has only two forms to serve allgenders and cases.
IX.Declensions are arranged according to the lastletter of the stem. The First Declension includes allstems ending in alpha or eta : the Second Declension moststems in omicron or omega; the Third Declension stemsending in other letters.
Vowels long by nature, except r, and u, are marked long, unless they carrythe circumflex accent.

LV.There are two conjunctions in Greekverbs in -co,and verbs in -fxi.
The verb-stem is that simple form which is modified toexpress relations of time and mood.
The tenses, moods, and verbal nouns are classifiedaccording to the stems (tense-stems) from which they arederived.
LVI.A complete Greek verb has :(1) three numbers : singular, dual, and plural.(2) three voices :active, eAvera, / loosed, middle, eXvo-aLi-qv, / loosed for
myself, passive, iXvd-qv, I was loosed.(3) two classes of tenses, e.g.Principal
present, Xvu, I loose.future, Aio-w, / shall loose.perfect, XkXvKa I have loosed.
Historicalimperfect, e'Awv, / was loosing or used to loose.aorist, cAvcra, / loosed.pluperfect eAeAvx^, / had loosed.
(4) four moods, e.g.indicative, Xvio, I loose.subjunctive, Xvco ) The meaning of these moods canoptative, Xvol/jll, J only be learnt by use.imperative, Ave, loose.
(5) three verbal nouns, e.g.infinitive, Xveiv, to loose, participle, Avcoi/, loosing, verbal

VEKBS IN nLVIII.Verbs in -&> are classified according to the final
letter of the verb-stem in the same way as we arrangedthe substantives. Thus we can form at once two greatgroups, e.g.
(1) Verbs whose verb-stems end in a vowel(2) Verbs whose verb-stems end in a consonant.The former of these classes is much more simple than
the latter. Consonant stems are often so altered in thepresent and imperfect tenses that you will not be able atfirst to assign them to their proper classes. The succeedingpages will give you examples of verbs in -cd arranged ingroups of which the following is a synopsis.
L VOWEL-STEMSnarrow vowels i, v, av, eu, ov uncontracted.open vowels a, e, o contracted.
II. CONSONANT-STEMSpalatal mutes, k, y, %.dental mutes, t, 8, 6.labial mutes, it, /3, .liquids and nasals, \, p, /x, v.
Note.The expressions strong and weak which you will find appliedto tenses may be best explained by examples from English. Thus bore,tat) sank, are the strong past tenses of bear, take, sink ; but neared,baked, linked, are the weak pu.st tenses of near, bake, link.
Vowels long by nature, except r, and *, are marked long, unless they carrythe circumflex accent.

PART IICHAPTER Ion I_V
1. The torms which you have learned in the preceding partof this book belong to the Attic dialect of the Greek language.Other dialects were the Doric, the Ionic, and the Aeolic.The poems of Homer are written in the Ionic dialect, and inthe history of Herodotus we see a later form of the same.The Attic is really an offshoot of the Ionic, as the Athenianswho inhabited Attica belonged to the Ionian race. ButAttic writers struck out a path for themselves, and by thenumber and excellence of their writings, gave so great im-portance to the refined Ionic in which they wrote that theAttic must be regarded as distinct from the Ionic. Thechief writers in the Attic dialect, taken in its widest sense,were the orators Antiphon, Andocides, Lysias, Isocrates,Isaeus, Aeschines, and Demosthenes, the historians Thucydidesand Xenophon, the Philosopher Plato, and the Comic poetAristophanes. The Tragic poets Aeschylus, Sophocles, andKuripides, wrote in Attic ; but in Tragedy, as in imaginativepoetry generally, many words and forms of words wereallowed which would have been rejected by any pure writerof prose.

108 FIRST GREEK GRAMMAR2. A very small portion of Attic literature has come down
to us, but it is surprising that so much should have beenpreserved. For the difficulty of multiplying the copies of anancient book was very great. All books had to be copiedby scribes, and the only letters known were the large andclumsy capitals which could not be written quickly. Thesmall or cursive letters in which Greek books are printed didnot come into general use among manuscript copyists till theeighth century after Christ, or about twelve hundred yearsafter the great Attic authors named above wrote.
3. The Alphabet.You will observe that, although thereare twenty-four letters, there are not twenty-four distinctsounds in the Greek alphabet. There is no essential differenceof sound between epsilon and eta, omicron and omega. Infact 7] and w did not exist in the early Attic alphabet, but Eand served to represent both the long and the short soundof the two letters. The other three vowels have each onlyone letter-sign, which is used indifferently for their long andtheir short sound. Moreover xi is simply ko- and psi is 7ro-,and the sound of zeta might probably have been given by &r,while tt, which is as much a double letter as xi, psi, or zeta,has no separate character. On the other hand, gamma hastwo distinct soundsa palatal and a nasal. When usedas a nasal [ayyeAos, dyKvpa, Ayx"7"7/5] ** *s sometimes calledayfjia.
One letter which was in use when the Iliad and Odysseywere composed disappeared at a later time from the Greekalphabet. Its existence is proved by the metre, and in oldstone records it is represented by the symbol F. It waspronounced like our F ov V and has received the namedigamma.
The distinction now made between o- and s was notknown till books began to be printed in Greek. The form

FIRST GREEK CKAMMAR 1095 is of course only the ordinary [irpos, ayio]. The form 3, which is often used fortheta, is only a shorter way of writing 0.
4. Vowels.Attic Greek had twenty-two vowel sounds,namely, a, a ; c, 7; ; 1, 1 ; o, a> ; v, v ; at, ct, ot ; av, ev, ova, y, w ; av, rjv ; vi. The diphthongs were produced by theunion of the open vowels a, e, rj, o, u> with the narrow vow\ Ist and v. When the open vowel is long the diphthong iscalled improper, and if the narrow vowel is iota it is writtenunderneath the hard (iota subscript), as , y, w. Whenwritten in capitals, a, y, o> appear as AI, HI, 121 ; or if aword beginning with such a diphthong requires a capital, theiota is still brought into line, as "AiSrjs for ^St/s. Indeed inall but the latest manuscripts the iota which we now writesubscript was written in line with the other letters (adscript).By the union of the two narrow vowels the diphthong vl isproduced.
5. Consonants.The dentals are also called Unguals,which is a wider term, and in a wide sense may be said toinclude not only the mutes, but also

In writing Greek we use the same marks as in Englishfor diaeresis, the full stop, and the comma; but in Greekthere is no note of exclamation, and the colon or semicolonis represented by ' as Tain-a Aeyw, the accent of thefirst word is the grave, of the second the circumflex, and ofthe third the acute. Accents are written to the left ofcapitals, and on the second vowel of a diphthong, as "Ofxrjpos,cvcrTOfAos. It must be understood that all this last paragraphrefers only to Greek as now written, and not at all toancient Greek, which had no system of punctuation, anddid not mark accents.
CHAPTER IIon VI
7. The real difficulty of inflexion consists in the collisionof the stem and the ending. Vowels collide with vowels,and consonants with consonants to form discordant sounds.Such discordancy is removed by the four methods of con-traction, assimilation, dissimilation, and vowel compensationfor consonantal loss. Contraction is used in the case ofvowels ; by the other three methods consonants are broughtinto harmony.
8. Contraction.The Attic dialect used contractionwherever it was possible, and in a natural way. If you

Compensatory lengthening.You already know whatis meant by tliis. In oSova-i the second syllable is long bynature, whereas in o&Wt-o-i, which must have been itsprimitive form, the same syllable is long by position. Inother words, to compensate for the loss of vt, the vowel-sound was lengthened. In the case of a, i, and v the vowelsimply becomes long instead of short, but e like o islengthened to a diphthong, except in the dative plural ofthe anomalous adjective \apUt dScA^w, pair of brothers, tw ittttw, span of horses,ra> 7roA?/, two cities in league with one another, or insome way circumstanced alike. Accordingly it is sometimes
1 with a singular verb. Even in cases like those men-tioned above the place of the dual may always be suppliedby the plural, but in the Attic dialect it occurs very frequently,and often with 8vo or afj.

114 FIRST GREEK GRAMMAR12. But the dual has not that completeness which the
other two numbers have. Substantives have never morethan two distinct dual formsone representing the nomina-tive, vocative, and accusative cases, and the other thegenitive and dative. In fact in Attic two forms serve toexpress all the cases and genders dual of the article, of thedemonstrative and relative pronouns, and of all adjectives inos, tj, ov, or 05, os, ov.
Further, Xvovre, 7t\kovt and like forms are in Atticpreferred to \vovo-d, irXeKovo-a, etc.
13. The Active voice of the verb has no first person Dual,and the first person dual of the middle and passive neveroccurs in Attic prose or comedy. 1 In the principal tenses ofthe indicative and in the subjunctive there is only one formfor the second and the third persons. The imperative of themiddle voice has no distinct form for the third person dual,but uses the plural form instead, e.g., Xvo~do-6u)v, let themloose for themselves, or let them two loose for themselves.
Further, even when dual forms did exist, the Greeks oftenpreferred to use a plural verb with a substantive in the dual.
14. Of the cases you must pay special attention to thevocative. The rules for forming the vocative of the firstdeclension hold good in all cases, but Attic writers couldalso on emergency use the nominative, as & k/ditt/s apurre.In the second declension the true vocative is much morefrequent than the nominative, except in the case of Oeos,which has never its true vocative form. In poetry, however,it is not unusual to find the nominative used for the vocative.
1 It occurs in classical Greek only thrice, Horn. 11. xxiii. 485, irtpi-8u)/j.e9ov, Soph. El. 950, \e\el/j.fxe9oi>, and Phil. 1079, op/xwuedov. Wecannot accept as true Attic such forms as are found only in tragedy, andthe fact that in these three cases the metre would allow of the plural castsa doubt on the existence of words differing so little from the plural forms.

CHAPTEK VACCENTUATION
27. Of the three marks of accent mentioned on p. 110 thegrave is not written in Greek except when it represents asubdued acute. Thus in the sentence ovros ZSrjcrc tov ittkov(he tied the horse), the word tov has the grave accent simplybecause there is no pause immediately after it sufficient toallow of its receiving the full force of the acute. But ovtos,ZSrjo-c, and itt-kov have really the grave accent on thosesyllables not already accented, and might be written ovtos,eSrjo-e, ittttov.
28. The acute can stand upon any one of the three last,the circumflex upon either of the two last syllables. Aword is called oxytone, perispomenon, or barytone, ac-cording as the last syllable has the acute, the circumflex, orneither. A word having the acute upon the last syllablebut one is called paroxytone, upon the last but two propar-oxytone; e.g., ittttos is paroxytone, ZSrjo-e proparoxytone. Aword having the circumflex upon the last syllable but one iscalled properispomenon, as oStos.
29. The acute may be on long or short syllables, thecircumflex only on such syllables as are long by nature.
The acute accent can be on the last syllable but two onlyif the last is short, as efyio/)os, but not evfiopfov.
The circumflex can be on the last but one only if the lastbe short by nature, as o-vkov, but not o-vkov.The diphthongs ai and ot are treated as short, as avOpunrot,/xowrai, and if the last syllable is long by position itdoes not prevent the preceding syllable from having thecircumflex.A last syllable but one when long by nature, if accented
Vmcels long by nature, except r, and a>, are marked long, unless they carrythe circumflex accent

FIRST GREEK GRAMMAR 123at all, must have the circumflex whenever the last syllable isshort by nature, as fjyov, not -ijyov, yvi/cuKes, not yvvcuVcs.
Exceptions like axrrc are only apparent. See infra, 35(4) Obs.
30. The accent of a word is altered by the changes whicha word undergoes in inflexion, contraction, etc.
No syllable requires an accent rom the mere fact ofcontraction.A contracted final syllable has the circumflex if the firstof the uncontracted syllables was accented, as, ti/xuci, ti/x^Xpvo-kov, xpiwov ; but the acute if the last was accented, asytyaios, yc-yws.
31. When an oxytone word undergoes elision, if a pre-position or a conjunction, it loses its accent altogether, butin all other cases throws it back upon the previous syllable,as 7rap' ifiov for irapd ifwv, ovS' eyw for ovSe iyco, but SeiVhri) (for Seiva hrrj).
32. In the case of crasis, the accent of the first worddisappears, as rayadd for t

(4) The present indicative of ei/U (except in the secondperson singular), unless it be emphatic, or stand at thebeginning of a clause, or follow aAAa, ovk, jxrj, el, a>s, /cat,tovto. In these cases cart is always paroxytone, as eonyap tovto, fxet^ov ovk eo~Ti kolkov, etc.
35. Enclitics throw their aceent back on the precedingword in the following way :
(1) A preceding oxytone does not subdue its accent tothe grave, as Kakov tl, something beautiful.
(2) After a perispome the accent of the enclitic is entirelylost, as KaAw? Te, and beautifully.
(3) After a paroxytone, enclitics of one syllable lose theiraccent, enclitics of two syllables retain their accent on theirlast syllable, as, Xoyos tls, a certain speech, but Aoyot nves,some speeches.
(4) Proparoxytones and properispomes receive from afollowing enclitic an additional accent on their last syllable,as, Setdv /xot, show me ; avdp(07r6s, Ik or e.
Vowels long by nature, except *? and a, are marked long, unless they carrythe circumflex accent.

Inregard to substantives and adjectives, the principal rule isKnowing the accent of the nominative singular, accent theother cases on the same syllable if the last syllable permitsotherwise accent the following syllable. Exceptions to thisrule will be given as they occur.
38. But verbs throw their accent as far back as the lastsyllable permits, with this reservation, that in compoundverbs the accent must not precede the augment, Xvofxtv\.e\vKa[iV, kXkXvvro, but Trapko-yov, not Trapzo-ypv, Trapzlypvnot Trdpnypv.The main exceptions to this rule are these :
