Ancient Greek prepositions

Prepositions in Greek for the most part work as they do in English . The principal difference is that the object of a Greek preposition must be inflected in either the genitive, dative, or accusative case. The preposition together with its object is called a PREPOSITIONAL PHRASE.

Three prepositions illustrate this dynamic. Note that these three have no accent.

εἰς or ἐς + acc. into

εἰς τὸ στόμα into the mouth

ἐν + dat. in

ἐν τῷ στόματι in the mouth

ἐκ + gen. from, out of

ἐκ τοῦ στόματος out of the mouth

ἐκ becomes ἐξ before a vowel:

ἐξ αἵματος out of blood

    up. The text in your post seem to be running off the screen in Safari.
    I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with
    internet browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know.
    The design look great though! Hope you get the problem solved soon.
