Excerpt from Syntax of Classical Greek From Homer to Demosthenes, Vol. 1: The Syntax of the Simple Sentence Embracing the Doctrine of the Moods and Tenses

Like myself, Professor miller is thoroughly imbued with the conviction that the study of syntax is of the utmost importance for the appreciation of literary form, and we both believe that the presentation of the phenomena under the rubrics of the different departments of literature will be found useful for in struc'tion and even more so for suggestion. Taking the Attic Orators as the standard of conventional Greek, we have worked backward through philosophy and history to tragic, lyric, and epic poetry, comedy being the bridge which spans the syntax Of the agora and the syntax Of Parnassus. Individual syntax we have not been able to set forth with any fulness, but the differ ent departments have been represented to the best of our ability and judgment. The plan has saved us from giving the usual medley Of examples, it has forced us to rely largely on our own collections and to examine the texts for ourselves, and it will enable those who come after us to fill up these outlines with greater ease.
