enclitic Particle, with two main uses (v. infr. A, B). A as a Conjunction, I τε . . τε, both . . and, joining single words, phrases, clauses, or sentences, the first τε merely pointing forward to the second, ἀνδρῶν τε θεῶν τε Il.1.544; ἀγαθῶν τε κακῶν τε Hes.Op.669; δίψῃ τε λιμῷ τε A.Pers.491, cf. S.Aj.34,35, Ar.Ach. 370,375; τήν τε νῆσον τήν τε ἤπειρον Th.4.8, cf. Antipho 2.3.3, Pl.

Heracl.153, El.391; hence we find τε . . ἢ . ., Pl.Tht.143c, Ion 535d; on ἢ (or ἦ) . . τε in Il.2.289 and A.Eu.524 (lyr.) v. ἦ 1.3. 2 the first clause may be negative, the second affirmative, as ἐκκλησίαν τε οὐκ ἐποίει... τήν τε πόλιν ἐφύλασσε Th.2.22; but οὔτε . . τε is more freq., as οὔτε ποσίν εἰμι ταχύς... γιγνώσκω τε X.Cyr.2.3.6 (v. οὔτε 11.4); we also find οὐ . . τε . ., as οὐχ ἡσύχαζον... παρεκάλουν τε τοὺς ξυμμάχους Th.1.67; and μὴ . . τε . ., as ἵνα μή τι διαφύγῃ ἡμᾶς, εἴ τέ τι βούλει κτλ. Pl.Phd.95e. 3 τε (both) sts. corresponds to a following δέ (and), or τε (and) to a preceding μέν, e.g. a τε . . δὲ . ., as κόμισαί τέ με, δὸς δέ μοι ἵππους Il.5.359, cf. 7.418, S.OC367, Tr.285, E.Ph.1625; ἐσθὰς ἀμφότερόν νιν ἔχεν, ἅ τε . . ἐπιχώριος... ἀμφὶ δὲ παρδαλέᾳ στέγετο Pi.P.4.80; διήκουέ τε... ἔπειτα δὲ καὶ ἐπῄνεσε X.Cyr.4.4.3; so with ἅμα δὲ καὶ... ὡσαύτως δὲ καὶ . ., Th.1.25, Pl.Smp.186e:—so τε... ἀτὰρ οὖν καὶ . ., Id.Hp.Ma. 295e. b μὲν . . τε... ἄνδρα μὲν... τρεῖς τε κασιγνήτους Il.19.291-3, cf.

B In Ep. (more rarely in other dactylic verse, v. infr. 11) τε stands in general or frequentative statements or in statements of what is well known; such statements are freq. made as justifications of a preceding particular statement or of a preceding exhortation to a particular person or persons; the sense of τε thus approaches that of τοι (cf. τοι and τε in Od.2.276-7, and cf. Il.13.115 with 15.203); although associated with numerous particles and other words of particular types (v. infr.) its meaning remains independent of these and applies to the whole sentence in which it stands: αἶψά τε φυλόπιδος πέλεται κόρος ἀνθρώποισιν Il.19.221; οὐ γάρ τ' αἶψα θεῶν τρέπεται νόος αἰὲν ἐόντων Od.3.147; θεοὶ δέ τε πάντα ἴσασιν 4.379, cf. 5.79,447, 10.306, 17.485, Il.9.497, 16.688, 17.176, 21.264; ξυνὸς Ἐνυάλιος καί τε κτανέοντα κατέκτα 18.309, cf.

Σκύλλῃ) δειραὶ περιμήκεες 12.90, cf. 93,99,105; ἐν δέ τε Γοργείη κεφαλή (in Athena's αἰγίς) Il.5.741; χαλεπὸν δέ τ' ὀρύσσειν ἀνδράσι γε θνητοῖσι (sc. μῶλυ) Od. 10.305; δοιαὶ γάρ τε πύλαι ἀμενηνῶν εἰσὶν ὀνείρων 19.562; sts. τε draws attention to a well-known custom or permanent feature, ἀρξάμενοι τοῦ χώρου, ὅθεν τέ περ οἰνοχοεύει 21.142; ἦ μένετε Τρῶας σχεδὸν ἐλθέμεν, ἔνθα τε νῆες εἰρύατ' εὔπρυμνοι Il.4.247, cf. Od. 6.266; ἐν ποταμῷ, ὅθι τ' ἀρδμὸς ἔην πάντεσσι βοτοῖσιν Il.18.521, cf. Od.14.353. 9 a part of the anatomy is defined by a clause (containing τε) which indicates a feature which universally belongs to it, κατ' ἰσχίον, ἔνθα τε μηρὸς ἰσχίῳ ἐνστρέφεται Il.5.305, cf. 8.83, 13.547, 16.481, 20.478; similarly a point of time is defined, ὥρῃ ἐν εἰαρινῇ, ὅτε τ' ἤματα μακρὰ πέλονται Od.18.367. 10 τε is used in relative clauses which define a measurement of a particular thing or action by reference to the measurement (in general) of some thing or action well known in daily life, γεφύρωσεν δὲ κέλευθον μακρὴν ἠδ' εὐρεῖαν, ὅσον τ' ἐπὶ δουρὸς ἐρωὴ γίγνεται Il.15.358; τοῦ δ' ἤτοι κλέος ἔσται ὅσον τ' ἐπικίδναται ἠώς 7.451; ὅτε τόσσον ἀπῆν ὅσσον τε γέγωνε βοήσας Od.9.473, cf. 3.321, al.; more rarely the definition is by reference to the measurement of a particular thing or action, ἤσθιε . . ἕως ὅ τ' ἀοιδὸς ἐνὶ μεγάροισιν ἄειδεν (s.v.l.) 17.358; ἥ τις δὴ τέτληκε τόσα φρεσίν, ὅσσα τ' ἐγώ περ 19.347. 11 the freq. use of τε B in similes is to be explained under one or other of the foregoing heads, e.g. when reference is made to generally known kinds of things or natural phenomena, to human experience in daily life, or to well-known phenomena of the animal world, Il.2.456,459,463,468,470,471,474,481, 3.23-5,33, 11.415-7, al.; or when universal characteristics of gods, men, animals, etc., are indicated by relative clauses introduced by ὅς τε, ὅς ῥά τε, etc., 3.61, 151, 198, al.; or by ὥς τε, ἠΰτε, ὥς τίς τε, etc., e.g. 5.136, 17.133, Od.4.535, ὡς εἴ τε 9.314, 14.254, etc. II in post-Hom. Gr. this use of τε is more restricted; outside of Ep. and other early dactylic verse (Hes.Op.30,214,233, al., Xenoph.13.3, Thgn.148,359, etc.) it is not found except with relatives, and with these it has scarcely any discernible sense, so that ὅς τε in Lyr. and Trag. is for the most part only = ὅς, e.g. (possibly generalizing) Μοῖρ', ἅ τε πατρώϊον τῶνδ' ἔχει τὸν εὔφρονα πότμον Pi.O.2.35, cf. 14.2, A.Eu.1024, E.Hec.445 (lyr.), etc. (v. ὅστε); without generalizing force, Pi.N.9.9, A.Pers.297, Ch.615, etc.; Hdt. has τά πέρ τε 1.74, ὅκως τε 2.108 codd., ὅσον τε (without a verb, as in Od.9.325, al.) 1.126, 2.96, 3.5, al., οἷά τε 1.93 codd. (adverbially 2.175, 5.11): in Att. Prose and Com. even these uses disappear and we find only a few phrases, as ἅτε, ὥστε, ἐφ' ᾧτε, οἷός τε; in later Gr. we find exceptionally ἔνθεν τε Hp.Ep.17; ἀφ' οὗ τε UPZ62.8 (ii B.C.); ἀπ' οὗ τε PCair.Zen.291.3 (iii B.C.); οἵ τε GDI215.23 (Erythrae, ii B.C.); ἥ τ' PMag.Par.1.2962; ὅσον τε ὀκτὼ στάδια Paus.6.26.1; καὶ ἔστιν ἔπη Μαντικὰ ὁπόσα τε (= which) ἐπελεξάμεθα καὶ ἡμεῖς Id.9.31.5; οἷόν τε καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς κύων φωνῆς θεωροῦμεν S.E.M.11.28. C in Hom. τε is also (but less freq.) used in conjunction with other particles in contexts (mainly particular statements) such as the following: 1 in assurances, statements on oath, and threats, σχέτλιος, ἦ τ' ἐκέλευον ἀπωσάμενον δήϊον πῦρ ἂψ ἐπὶ νῆας ἴμεν Il.18.13; ἐξ αὖ νῦν ἔφυγες θάνατον, κύον· ἦ τέ τοι ἄγχι ἦλθε κακόν 11.362; ἦ τε is similarly used in 11.391, 17.171,236, Od.24.28,311, al.; ἦ τ' ἄν in Il.12.69, al.; γάρ τε (s. v.l.) in οὐ γάρ τ' οἶδα 6.367, cf. Od.10.190; νύ τε in 1.60,347 (but τ' more prob. = τοι, v. σύ) ; δέ τε in ἀγορῇ δέ τ' ἀμείνονές εἰσι καὶ ἄλλοι Il.18.106; σὲ δέ τ' ἐνθάδε γῦπες ἔδονται 16.836; μέν τε in σφὼ μέν τε σαώσετε λαὸν Ἀχαιῶν 13.47, cf. 4.341; εἴ πέρ τε in οὔ τοι ἔτι δηρόν γε φίλης ἀπὸ πατρίδος αἴης ἔσσεται, οὐδ' εἴ πέρ τε σιδήρεα δέσματ' ἔχῃσιν Od.1.204, cf. 188, Il.12.223,245. 2 also in commands, warnings, and admonitions, σίγα, μή τίς τ' ἄλλος Ἀχαιῶν τοῦτον ἀκούσῃ μῦθον Il.14.90, cf. Od.19.486; ὣς ἄγαγ' ὡς μήτ' ἄρ τις ἴδῃ μήτ' ἄρ τε νοήσῃ Il.24.337; τούσδε τ' (v.l. δ') ἐᾶν 16.96 (nisi leg. τούσδ' ἔτ') ; δὸς δέ τέ μ' ἄνδρα ἑλεῖν 5.118; μηδέ τ' ἐρώει (nisi leg. μηδ' ἔτ') 2.179, 22.185. 3 also in passionate utterances, in clauses which indicate the cause of the speaker's passion or a circumstance which might have caused others to behave more considerately towards him, ὤ μοι ἐγὼ δειλή . . ἥ τ' . . τὸν μὲν . . θρέψασα . . ἐπιπροέηκα Il.18.55; σχέτλιοί ἐστε, θεοί, ζηλήμονες ἔξοχον ἄλλων, οἵ τε θεαῖς ἀγάασθε . . ἤν τίς τε . .

Ζεὺς γαίης νέρθε καθεῖσε 14.203; ἤματι τῷ ὅτε τ' ἦλθον Ἀμαζόνες 3.189 (but ἤματι τῷ ὅτε τε is general in 13.335; so also ὅτε πέρ τε . . κέρωνται in 4.259); ὅτε τ' ἤλυθε νόσφιν Ἀχαιῶν ἄγγελος ἐς Θήβας 5.803, cf. 10.286, 22.102, Od.7.323, 18.257. 6 in ὅ τε (that or because) the τε has no observable meaning, χωόμενος ὅ τ' ἄριστον Ἀχαιῶν οὐδὲν ἔτισας Il.1.244, cf. 412, 4.32, 6.126, Od.5.357, al. 7 ἐπεί τε = ἐπεί (when) is rare in Hom., ἐπεί τ' ἐνόησε Il.12.393, cf. ἐπείτε. 8 where τ' ἄρ occurs in questions, e.g. πῇ τ' ἂρ μέμονας καταδῦναι ὅμιλον; Il.13.307, cf. 1.8, 18.188, al., ταρ (q.v.) should prob. be read, since ἄρ (α) usu. precedes a τε which is not copulative; so perh. ταρα should be read for τ' ἄρα in Od.1.346. 9 in ἣ θέμις ἐστὶν . . ἤ τ' ἀνδρῶν ἤ τε γυναικῶν Il.9.276, it is not clear whether τε is copulative (τε A) or generalizing (τε B) or neither (τε C); ἤ is prob. = ἦ (accented as in ἤτοι (; ἤ τ' ἀλκῆς ἤ τε φόβοιο is dub. l. in 17.42; ἤ τ' = or is found in 19.148, = than in Od.16.216. 10 Rarer and later uses; a also, esp. with ἄλλος, Ἑρμεία, σὺ γὰρ αὖτε τά τ' ἄλλα περ ἄγγελός ἐσσι Od.5.29, cf. 17.273, Il.23.483; ἐπεὶ τά τε ἄλλα πράττουσιν καλῶς, ἀναθεῖναι αὐτοὺς καὶ στήλην IG22.1298.9, cf.

A. 11.3b. b with ὅδε, adding a slight emphasis to the preceding word, εἰ δὴ τήνδε τε γαῖαν ἀνείρεαι Od.13.238, cf. 15.484. c τε γάρ rarely = καὶ γάρ or γάρ, Arist.APo.75b41, de An. 405a4, PA661b28, Pol.1318b33, 1333a2; ἐάν τε γάρ for even if, 2 Ep.Cor.10.8; τήν τε γὰρ ἐπιθυμίαν οὐκ ᾔδειν for I had not known even lust. Ep.Rom.7.7. D Position of τε: 1 in signf. A, as an enclitic, it stands second word in the sentence, clause, or phrase, regardless of the meaning: ἐγγύθι τε Πριάμοιο καὶ Ἕκτορος near both Priam and Hector, Il.6.317; ἡμέτεραί τ' ἄλοχοι καὶ νήπια τέκνα 2.136, cf. 4.505, 7.295; αἰεί τε δὴ νηλὴς οὺ καὶ θράσους πλέως A.Pr.42 codd., cf. 291 (anap.); ἄνευ τε δόλου καὶ ἀπάτης Hdt.1.69; ὑπέρ τε σοῦ καὶ τῆς ἀδελφῆς PEnteux.6.6 (iii B.C.); τοῖς τε πόνοις καὶ μαθήμασι Pl.R. 537a, cf. Ti.70b; hence in E.Or.897 πόλεος must be taken with what precedes (Porson ad loc.): but article + noun, preposition + noun are freq. regarded as forming a unity indivisible by τε, τοῖς κτανοῦσί τε A.Ch.41 (lyr.); πρὸς βίαν τε Id.Pr.210; also the order is freq. determined by the meaning, τε being placed immediately after the word (or first word of a phrase or clause) which it joins to what precedes or to what follows, πατὴρ ἀνδρῶν τε θεῶν τε Il.1.544; ἔξω δόμων τε καὶ πάτρας A.Pr.665; the copulative or preparatory τε precedes many other particles, e.g. τε γάρ, τ' ἄρα, τέ τις. 2 τε is enclitic in signfs. B, C also, and stands early in its sentence, clause, or phrase (v. supr.), but many particles which follow τε in signf. A precede it in signfs. B, C, e.g. in signfs. B, C we have δέ τε, μέν τε, γάρ τε, ἀλλά τε, δ' ἄρα τε, ὅς ῥά τε, οὔτ' ἄρ τε, καὶ γάρ τίς τε, ὅς τίς τε, καί τε. E Etymology: signf. A is found also in Skt. ca, Lat. -que; for signfs. B and c cf. Skt. ca in yá[hudot ] káś ca 'whosoever (with following verb)', Lat. -que in quisque, ubique, plerique, usque, neque, nec (= non in necopinans, etc.), Goth. ni-h 'not' (also 'and not'), Lat. namque (= nam).
