A proposito di un falso solecismo. Note su Crisippo, SVF III 769

Abstract

The study of solecisms was one of the interests of the Stoic Chrysippus, as testified by Diogenes Laërtius (7, 192); for Lucian Lives at Enchantment 23 the study of solecisms is indeed a distinctive element of his linguistic interests. In SVF III 769 Chrysippus following Zoilus of Amphipolis interprets as a syntax error a particular Homeric verbal form whereas it constitutes the evidence of a rare form relevant for the history of the Greek language.
