The use with verbs ‘in tmesi’ is of course adverbial likewise when a subst, occurs in a case that defines the adv. adv., ἄνα (with anastrophe), hortative, up! quick!Il. ἐρύουσι, ἐπεί κέ τις κτλ., ‘me like enough last of all will dogs drag about, after I am slain,” etc., Il. in independent sentence, οὐκ ἄν τοι χραίσμῃ κίθαρις, ‘perchance the harp may avail thee not,’ Il. The following examples will illustrate the most important of these peculiarities of usage:- (1) ἄνw. occurs without ἄν (κέ) oftener than in Attic. In final clauses the use of ἄνor κέprevails, and is not uncommon even with the opt. in independent sentences, and κέ (rarely ἄν) with the fut. representing these, and joined to εἰor relative words, ἐάν, ὅταν, etc., in conditional clauses that take the subjunctive), Homer employs ἄνwith the subj. in conclusions expressed by the secondary tenses of the ind., and by the opt., or by the inf. The use of ἄνis less exactly defined in Homer than in Attic Greek besides the regular usages in Attic (viz. Ἄν (1): modal adv., indicating a condition essentially equivalent to κέν, and of less frequent occurrence. acc., local, mostly to denote motion or extension in space, ἀμφʼ ἅλα ἔλσαι Ἀχαιούς,Il. In case of an apparent ambiguity of construction the presumption is in favor of adverbial interpretation in Homer.-II. 6.115), about, around here belongs the so-called use ‘in tmesi,’ and in many instances where the word seems to govern a subst., it is really adverbial, and the case of the subst. adv., on both sides (or ends, or above and below, Il. ἀμφίς, ἄμφω): on both sides the distinction between ἀμφίand περί (‘around’) is of course not always observed the two words are used together, ὄχθαι δʼ ἀμφὶ περὶ μέγαλ ἴαχον, ‘round about,’ Il. γυναῖκα, ‘lead home,’ ‘take to wife,’ said of the bridegroom, and also of those who give in marriage, or who accompany the bride, Od.

Dactylo demonstrates its ability to produce statistics for hexameter’s metric patterns in a massive scale, easily and accurately, becoming so a contribution of Computational Linguistics to the diachronic comparative and quantitative language studies.Ἄγω (imp. Based on these outcomes, these epics can be classified in groups that reflect very well the three periods of their creation, namely Classical, Hellenistic and Late Antiquity. ![]() For this purpose, eight renowned epics have been scanned, including Iliad and Odyssey, with plenty of statistical information. The development methodology introduces the concept of computerized metric profiling and metric distance, which is a measurement value that reflects the degree of similarity or dissimilarity between different epics. The automated scansion is based on well-known scanning rules of various theoretical works. This article describes a software tool, named Dactylo, which is capable of performing metrical analysis, alias scansion, of epics written in hexameter. ![]()
