present and aorist active subjunctive and optative
purpose clauses

2. But you had sent prizes to Homer in order that he might educate your brother.

[face=SPIonic]
a)=qla de\ tw|+= O(mh/rw| e)pepo/mfhj w(j to\n a0delfo\n pai/deuoi.[/face]



3. He had written a book about peace in order that we might stop wars.

[face=SPIonic]
bibli/on peri\ thn ei)rh/nhn e)ge/grafe o(/pwj pole/mouj pau/saimen. [/face]

[Emma_85]

I think in sentence 2 you either need a i(na or conjunctive.

[bingley]

Why? What's wrong with the optative after a past perfect? Why not [face=SPIonic]w(j[/face]

[Skylax]

3. He had written a book about peace in order that we might stop wars.

[face=SPIonic]
bibli/on peri\ thn ei)rh/nhn e)ge/grafe o(/pwj pole/mouj pau/saimen. [/face]

[face=SPIonic]
peri\ thn ei)rh/nhn : peri\ ei)rh/nhj

pole/mouj pau/saimen : pole/mwn pausai/meqa[/face] could be acceptable too.
[face=SPIonic]peri/[/face] + Gén is "on the subject of, concerning"; +Acc. is an other "about", nearer to "towards"
