LESSON 3
HADES - From Homer's Odyssey

by George Valsamis

What does Helen do in English?  

 

She is always standing - whether I touch her, or see her, or follow her, she is always the same. In English, just like in my activity I am always outside and before an impersonal action (I solved just like You solved - the verb, the action, is unchanged by the difference of the persons), in a similar way I remain unchanged when I am the object of someone else's action: whether they see me or follow me or touch me, it is always just me...

This is, then, what inflection does in Greek, it incorporates into language the responses of a being to some action or condition. 

Inflection is one more way of picturing real life. Helen in English is only a step away before she is finally substituted with a number.
