Not illustrated. 1884 edition. Excerpt: ...u4) vi rot ob xpalafin ffKnirrphv Ko! oTcp-yua fleotb (there is danger) indeed that the staff and wreath of the god may not avail thee (A 28), /iJ) ob ee/urbv $ I fear it is not right (PPhaed.67b). 868. In Hm., the subjunctive is sometimes used to denote future events, nearly like the future indicative: ob yip iru rolovs Isop dvepas, obSh tfSop.ai for never yet saw I such men, nor shall I see (A 262). To the subjunctive in this use, fiv or K4 is sometimes added: Ovk &i Toi xPf-V apis nought will the lyre avail t/iee (r 54). Cf. 845. Optative. 869.

The sentence is then strictly a condition with omitted conclusion, as in English 'O if this would happen.' b. In poetry, simple el occurs; for instance Eur. Hec. 836. Hm. sometimes has t 8e and a? yip. a. Wishes are also introduced by &s: Hm. as epts f/c re 6eav %k T' avBpirmev i.it6ono would that discord from among both gods and men might perish (2 107). d.
