Goodwin & Gulick 1039 say ‘A relative [pronoun] is seldom repeated in a new case in the same sentence. Either it is omitted and understood in the latter part of the sentence, or a personal or demonstrative pronoun takes its place.’ – but they give only a few examples.
Does anyone know of a fuller treatment?
Many thanks
hi tangen, thompson in greek prose usage explains this simply: first giving the rule you just mentioned, then this 1 exception:
The relative is repeated if the first clause is negative and the second affirmative:
[size=150]οὐκ ἐν [color=red]ω{| [/color]κεῖνται μᾶλλον ἀλλ’ ἐν [color=red]ω{| [/color]ἡ δόξα καταλειπεται[/size]
Not the tomb in which they lie but rather that in which their glory is left behind
I think I remember Sidgwick also talking about this in the notes at the front of Greek Prose Composition, contrasting greek in this respect against latin…
