Abstract
The article deals with the use and typological classification of negation in Ancient Greek, analyzing some peculiarities, for example the fact that an n-word may occur either with a negator (and the clause has still negative meaning), or stand alone (and have thus the force of a negator). Therefore Ancient Greek belongs to languages with no-strict negative concord.
The author explains cases of double negation, the co-occurrence of "ou" and "me" negators, questions introduced by these two negators, or the fact that subordinate clauses, infinitives and participles allow for either "ou", or "me" according to their function in the sentence and the communicative intention of the speaker.
