Book Synopsis
The verb is, in any language, the motor of all communication: no verb, no action. In Greek, verb forms change not only with person, number, tense, and voice, but in four possible moods as well. This title shows how the various verb forms contribute to the richness of Greek literature as we know it.

Trade Review
"[This study] belongs in the library of any Hellenist and any linguist interested in ancient Greek." - Classics Newsletter (Anzeiger fur die Altertumswissenschaft) "Every use is described with concision and clarity." - Kratylos "The book offers an example of how the empirical thoroughness of traditional Classical scholarship can be brought into contact with general linguistic theory." - Language "Unassuming but elegant... astute and convincing. The whole is made unusually accessible.... I recommend it highly for any student of Greek, including those who are thoroughly familiar with the language." - Lingua"
