Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Use of the Prepositions in Apollonius Rhodius: Compared With Their Use in Homer
The aim of the present work is to compare Apol louins with Homer in prepositional usages. The prepositions make a good, though rugged, field for comparison, because the standard taken by Apollonius had to be not only negative, by avoiding post-homeric uses, but also positive, by adopting forms and uses which had never crossed the boundaries of epic poetry and were, for that reason, artificial. For many valuable suggestions in the work I wish to acknowl edge my indebtedness to Dr. Bolling. To Dr. Miller of the Johns Hopkins University I am grate ful for the final examination of the manuscript.
