Yes, thanks, Mike, I knew that.  I also know, or I think, that there were more
ways to say something in Ancient Greek than there needed to be, which is
why I think that choice sometimes implies meaning, but as often as not implies
euphony or stylistic variation.

Modern Greek has no dative. And υπο+gen is also no longer an option. As far as I know, there isn't another way of doing this in Modern Greek--though one of the native speakers on the list could probably say more.
