William W. Goodwin (1831–1912) was Eliot Professor of Greek at Harvard
from 1860 to 1901, and was the first director of the American School in
Athens. This, his most important book, was written for nineteenth-century
American students to make available to them the latest European
developments in the understanding of Greek syntax, as well as his own
original material. It went through several editions between 1860 and 1890, and
remains an invaluable resource for scholars of the Greek language. This is a
reissue of the 1867 edition, published in Cambridge Massachusetts by Sever
and Francis. It presents a detailed and well organized discussion of moods,
tenses, infinitive, participles and verbal adjectives. Goodwin includes a large
collection of examples taken from a wide range of major Greek writers to
illustrate every variety of each construction. An index of these examples is
also provided for easy reference.
