3.τοὺς παρὰ τῳ ῾Ομὴρω φίλους λόγων τέχνην ἐπαιδεύσας. You
educated your friends by Homer's artful stories τὸν Ὁμήρου
ἀδελὸν παιδεύει. τοὺς παρὰ τῳ Ὁμὴρω φίλους λόγων τέχνην
ἐπαιδεύσας. τὰ βιβλία τὰ παρὰ τῶν ξένων ἐπαιδευε τοὺς ἐν τῃ
ἀγορα ἂνθρωπος, τοὺς Ὁμήρου φίλους. 1. λύομεν τὸν ἀδελφον. They
are releasing the brother. Sort of awkward, but a simple
solution is posed - is the "your" implied in sentences like
these, thus making it "They are releasing your brother" ? daivid
wrote:Without a wider context the only person mention in the
sentence is "They", hence I would expect it to mean that "they
are releasing their brother." It helps to keep this in mind when
trying to figure out sentences: words always stand in
relationship to other words in a sentence. If you see something
like τὰ or παρα, start looking for something that functions as a
noun and is in the right case to go with it, because you don't
have articles or prepositions hanging out all by themselves,
meaningwise it simply doesn't make sense. spiphan
