This dissertation focuses on the category of aspect in Ancient Greek. Aspects is typically a semantic and morphological characteristic of verbs in the languages where it occurs, as in Ancient Greek. Semantically it is related to how time is considered in the discourse. It shows how events are specified in relation to time in sentences. From the morphological point of view, aspect is as morphological morpheme aggregated to certain verbal forms such as present, perfect, aorist and future. The dissertation presents the morphological structure of Ancient Greek verbs, to show how the aspectual meaning is associated to morphemes. In relation to the literature, the notion of aspect is presented in grammars and in specific works by linguists. A review of the principal ideas is presented and discussed. It is assumed that the aspectual meaning in verbs is a morphological mark, but it also depends on the meaning conveyed by the lexemes. New works on the subject brought new insights not only on the definition of aspect, but also in the analysis of its occurrence in languages, including a review of the traditional interpretation of aspect in Ancient Greek. This dissertation detected some remaining problems and it brings possible solutions. In this way, this dissertation states that in Ancient Greek verbs the elements that define the aspectual meaning are morphologically determined by special verbal morphemes, but it is also important to take into account the semantic meaning of the lexemes. Only when both elements are considered, it is possible to assign the aspectual meaning to a sentence
