Abstract

I intend to analise in this work the aspectual usages in Greek writer Apollodorus, by means of empirical approach, using a electronic database and statiscally tested, in order to support the Ancient Greek learning. The work Library (Bibliothéke) is the corpus, whose composition is credit to Apollodorus, II BCE. Therefore, this corpus is appropriated for this research about aspect because its texts are authentics, and was written in natural language.
