Milites igitur vehementer cohortatus ad pristinam virtutem: Therefore the soldiers greatly urged on by their former courage… Shouldn’t it be cohortati since milites is plural? Thanks.
Shouldn’t it be cohortati since milites is plural?
No. What case do you think milites is?
by their former courage
Isnt it to their former courage?
Cohortor is a deponent verb, passive in form but active in meaning. milites is the accusative direct object of cohortatus. The subject of cohortatus is a masculine individual, though out of context, it’s not clear who.
nominative plural
Thanks. It makes sense now.
though out of context, it’s not clear who.
Context would have made it easier. I think its Hercules
yes it is Hercules
