Abstract


In the designation of human beings, the Homeric poems show different expressions of Cause, the use of which is determined by their grade of dependence of the verb and by their meaning itself. Their use as the second argument of the verb makes possible the occurrence of the Genitive, the ancient Indoeuropean Ablative, without any preposition; their use as a satellite leads to the occurrence of prepositional phrases. Both as an argument and as a satellite the meaning of Causal expressions with a human referent can be classified in Homer in three subtypes within the continuum uniting the notions Cause and Agent: involuntary Cause, Responsible without Intention and Responsible with Intention.
