This paper, which I have the pleasure of offering in honor of one who worked hardest for the establishment of the Linguistic Society, is a study of the syntactic constructions within which the form
is included. The selection of such a topic was influenced by two considerations: less seems to me to be known about Homeric syntax than about Homeric phonology and Homeric morphology; the introduction and development of the proper technique for the handling of syntactic problems seem important achievements of the Linguistic Society.
