Our ancient Greek grammars take as a fact the existence of a genitive case marking for the direct object of the verbs expressing the idea of “eat” and “drink”, alternating with the accusative. Such case behaviour is at odds with our observation that in ancient Greek the direct object whose referent is created or altered by the verbal action, is always constructed in accusative case. Our study of such construction shows that the genitive case is in fact very rare: before the first century AD it only appears, with a true partitive meaning, in a reduced set of clearly marked contexts.
