Appendix I. (12/30)
英語原文
It will be seen that the strength of the argument lies in the gradual development of the optative conditional sentence which is supposed to appear in 1, 2, and 3. This is further enforced by reference to cases in which the simple optative in a wish (without an form of εἰ) is followed by an apodosis, like the equivalent optatives with εἰ in 2, thus showing the absense of a conditional force in the latter. See Od. xv. 180 : —
οὕτω νῦν Ζεὺς θείη, ἐρίγδουπος πόσις Ἥρης·
τῷ κέν τοι καὶ κεῖθι θεῷ ὣς εὐχετοῴμην.
Since the two clauses are grammatically independent here, it is argued that they must be equally so in the examples in 2.
