Synopsis

Excerpt from A Study of Conjunctional Temporal Clauses in Thukydides: A Dissertation

The present stem shows an action extended, the aorist an action concentrated. Certain aorist stems appear in verbal forms of present time; but, though the possibility of the te presentation of present action under the aoristic conception is not to be denied, it is doubtful how far aoristic force was felt in these present forms derived from aorist stems. Further, morphological connection between the aorist and the future, and the coexistence of future forms from the aorist stem and from the present stem, point to a distinction of aspect in the field of the future. The question of aspect in the perfect stem will be considered later.

The temporal relation of one action to another may be that of antecedence, or of contemporaneity, or of subsequence.
