Subject: Use of TE
Although this is perhaps off subject, following up on the last post, I
wondered how a person should properly use TE in Ancient Greek
composition besides the obvious TE KAI construction such as DIA TAUTA
hO EN THi POLEI ARCHHGOS APEPEMPSE TAS GUNAIKAS TE KAI TOUS PAIDOUS
where it functions linking the objects together as opposed to TAS
GUNAIKAS KAI TOUS PAIDOUS KAI TOUS ANDRAS. It's also used in the
classic construction OIOS TE EIMI +INFINITIVE, but how does it
function in constructions beyond these? What's the difference between
it and a KAI?
