Question 16

ἀκούω, ἀκούσω

Answer 16

(+ genitive or accusative) hear, listen, listen to [cf. acoustics] [The genitive case is used if it a person who is being heard, the accusative case if it is an actual sound that is being heard. This makes sense since a person could be the source of a sound, but never the sound itself.

Question 17

βλάπτω, βλάψω, ἔβλαψα, βέβλαφα, βέβλαμμαι, ἐβλάφθην/ἐβλάβην

Answer 17

harm, hurt

Question 18

κελεύω, κελεύσω, ἐκέλευσα, κεκέλευκα, κεκέλευσμαι, ἐκελεύσθην

Answer 18

(with accusative or dative+ Inf.) order (to), command (to), urge (to). [The person who receives the order to do something may appear in either the accusative or the dative case. If the speaker regards the person as the subject of the infinitve (i.e., as the doer of the commanded action), then the accusative case is appropriate-a grammar point that will be discussed in later lessons. If the speaker thinks of a person as the recipient of the order, then the dative case (designating an indirect object) is preferable. You have the option to use whichever of the two cases you wish; your choice will not affect the basic meaning of the sentence.

Question 22

κλίνη, -ης, ἡ

Answer 22

couch, bed [cf. clinic]

Question 23

μοῖρα, -ας, ἡ

Answer 23

destiny, fate; Μοῖρα = Destiny or Fate (personified as a goddess)

Question 24

ὥρα, -ας, ἡ

Answer 24

season, hour; (with accusative or dative + Inf.) it is time (to) [cf. horoscope, hour] {When ὣρα is combined with an Inf., you will very often find that the sentence appears to have no main verb. Actually it is just that the speaker has chosen to leave out the wrod for “is,” assuming that you will supply it. The best way to translate the idiom into English is to begin with “it is” (“it is the hour to…” or, more simply, “it is time to…”). The person who is expected to do the action is put into the accusative or the dative case, depending on the speaker’s point of view (see the not above on κελεύω). Example: ὣρα τὴν θεράπαιναν [or τῇ θεραπαίνῃ] θύειν (“it is time for the maid to offer sacrifice”).}

Question 25

ἐπεί or ἐπειδή

Answer 25

(conjunction) when, after, since, because {ἐπεί and ἐπειδή are virtually synonymous: each introduces a subordinate adverbial clause that tells when or why the main action of the sentence occurs. The context will show whether the clause is temporal (indicating the time at which something happens) or causal (indicating the reason for its happening).
