You might look at Smyth:

§1934. Aorist for Future.--The aorist may be substituted for the future
when a future event is vividly represented as having actually occurred:
APWLOMHN AR', EI ME DH LEIYEIS I am undone if thou dost leave me E. Alc.

You might also look at A.T.Robertson (the big volume), pp. 846-7 ("Relation
