The current paper defends the existence of aspect in Latin by proposing a three-dimensional(SFL-inspired) interpretation of both aspect and tense. The traditional usage labelsof the tenses can all be framed within the framework proposed in this paper. Moreover,the interpersonal meaning of perspective, similar to focalization, adds an important interpretationof many tenses and their textual surroundings. The ultimate tense choice in narrativesusually depends on the most important dimension of meaning, along a certainmetafunctional hierarchy. Such a multidimensional interpretation of the tenses mayinspire an authentic reading experience and boost the development of pupils’ cognitiveand linguistic capacities.

THE VIEW FROM THE MOUNTAIN (OROSKOPIA) IN GREEK AND LATIN LITERATURE

This paper argues for the existence of the topos of oroskopia in Greek and Latin literature. Gods and mortals are positioned on mountains to watch events or landscapes below. The view from above symbolises power (in the case of the gods) or an attempt at control or desire for power (in the case of mortals). It may also suggest an agreeable and relaxed spectatorship with no active involvement in the events watched, which may metaphorically morph into a historian's objectivity or a philosopher's emotional tranquillity. The elevated position may also have a temporal aspect, gods looking into the future or mortals looking back on their life.
