IV Greek accusative

A body part in the accusative can express where the description of an adjective or the action of a verb applies. This construction is largely confined to poetry and later Latin, and as the name suggests it is due to Greek influence.

In Classical prose it is usually replaced by the ablative of respect (Unit 8).

Mīles oculōs vulnerātus est.

The soldier has been wounded in the eyes.

Nūdī pectora erant hominēs.

The men were bare with respect to their chests.

V Accusative of exclamation
