Shelmerdine Chapter 21 1.Participles Fundamentally, participles are verbs which modify their subjects using adjective endings (instead of using personal endings to indicate their subject). After the indicative mood, participles are the second most common mood in Greek. In general, nearly a third of Greek verbs appear in participle form.

Shelmerdine Chapter 21 1.Participles Participles exist in four tenses: 1.Present 2.Future 3.Aorist 4.Perfect Participles exist in all three voices: 1.Active 2.Middle 3.Passive

Shelmerdine Chapter 21 1.Participles All participles in the active voice use 3 rd declension endings for the masculine and neuter and 1 st declension endings for the feminine

Shelmerdine Chapter The attributive participle • A participle has two basic functions • Attributive, when a definite article precedes it. • Circumstantial, when no article precedes it.

Shelmerdine Chapter The attributive participle • A participle has two basic functions • Attributive, when a definite article precedes it. The participle can refer to a specific person or persons doing the action or to the whole class of people who perform this action. • οἱ ἄνδρες φεύγουσιν. The men flee. • οἱ φεύγοντες ἄνδρες... The men who flee… • οὐ τιμῶμεν τοὺς ἐκ τῆς μάχης φεύγοντας. We do not honor men who flee from battle.

Shelmerdine Chapter The circumstantial participle • A participle has two basic functions • Circumstantial, when no article precedes it. The participle now replaces a verb and a conjunction. • Although a participle almost never has its own conjunction, Greek verbs are, as we have seen, always linked, so a conjunction should be supplied in translation.

Shelmerdine Chapter The circumstantial participle • A participle has two basic functions • Circumstantial, when no article precedes it. The participle now replaces a verb and a conjunction. • τρέχομεν. λαμβάνομεν τοὺς ἵππους. • We are running. We catch the horses. • τρέχοντες λαμβάνομεν τοὺς ἵππους. We are running and we catch the horses. When we are running, we catch the horses. Because we are running, we catch the horses. Although we are running, we catch the horses.

Shelmerdine Chapter The circumstantial participle • A participle has two basic functions • Circumstantial, when no article precedes it. The participle now replaces a verb and a conjunction. • τρέχοντες λαμβάνομεν τοὺς ἵππους. If we are running, we catch the horses. Since we are running, we catch the horses. While we are running, we catch the horses. As long as we are running, we catch the horses. κτλ.

Shelmerdine Chapter The circumstantial participle • Make sure you translate the subject of the participle correctly. • λαμβάνομεν τρέχοντες τοὺς ἵππους. We catch the horses, while we are running. • λαμβάνομεν τρέχοντας τοὺς ἵππους. We catch the horses, while they are running.

Shelmerdine Chapter Further notes on participles The present participle refers to action happening at the same time as the main verb: τρέχοντες λαμβάνομεν τοὺς ἵππους. While we are running, we catch the horses. τρέχοντες ἐλαμβάνομεν τοὺς ἵππους. While we were running, we caught the horses.

Shelmerdine Chapter Further notes on participles The negative for a participle is normally ο ὐ : οὐ τρέχοντες ἐλαμβάνομεν τοὺς ἵππους. Although we were not running, we caught the horses.

Shelmerdine Chapter Further notes on participles For generic attributive participles, however, the negative is μή: λαμβάνομεν τοὺς μὴ τρέχοντας ἵππους. We catch horses that do not run. For circumstantial participles expressing a negative condition, the negative is μή: λαμβάνομεν τοὺς ἵππους μὴ τρέχοντας. We catch horses, if they are not running.

Shelmerdine Chapter The future active participle To form the future active participle, add ων, ουσα, ον to the future active stem: present: λύων, λύουσα, λῦον future: λύσων, λύσουσα, λῦσον

Shelmerdine Chapter The future active participle The future active participle refers to action after the main verb: λαμβάνομεν φεύγοντας τοὺς ἵππους. We catch the horses, while they are running away. present participle λαμβάνομεν φεύξοντας τοὺς ἵππους. We catch the horses, while they are about to run away. future participle

Shelmerdine Chapter The future active participle In practice, the future active participle often expresses purpose: ἐτρέχομεν διώξοντες τοὺς ἵππους. We were running, when we were about to chase the horses. We were running, in order to chase the horses.

Shelmerdine Chapter The aorist active participle To form the aorist active participle, if the verb has a 1 st (weak) aorist: to the aorist active stem, add -ας –ασα –αν (nominative singular endings) following the same pattern as πᾶς πᾶσα πᾶν.  λύσας λύσασα λῦσαν κτλ. Remember: only the indicative has an augment, so the participle has no augment.

Shelmerdine Chapter The aorist active participle To form the aorist active participle, if the verb has a 2 nd (strong) aorist: to the aorist active stem, add ών, οῦσα, όν identical to the present active except the accent never recedes past the ending.  λιπών, λιποῦσα, λιπόν κτλ. Remember, only the indicative has an augment, so the participle has no augment.

Shelmerdine Chapter The aorist active participle The aorist participle often refers to action prior to another verb. • λαβόντες οἱ ἄνθρωποι τοὺς ἵππους ἤγαγον οἴκαδε. After the men captured the horses, they led them home. Τhe men captured the horses, before they led them home.

Shelmerdine Chapter 21 ὁ δὲ ἡδόμενος τοῖς λόγοις καὶ λέγει· Εὖ τε ἐποίησας καὶ χάριν σοι ἔχομεν τῶν τε λόγων καὶ τοῦ δώρου· καί σε ἐπὶ δεῖπνον καλοῦμεν. ὁ μὲν οὖν ἁλιεὺς μάλιστα ἥδεται, ὡς οὕτω τιμᾶται· οἱ δὲ θεράποντες τὸν ἰχθὺν τέμνοντες, εὐρίσκουσιν ἐν τῇ γαστρὶ τὴν Πολυκράτους σφραγῖδα ἣν ἀπέβαλεν. ὡς δὲ εἶδόν τε καὶ ἔλαβον αὐτήν, ἔφερον παρὰ τὸν Πολυκράτη καὶ τὸ πρᾶγμα ἐξηγοῦντο.
