Abstract
This entry outlines causal clauses, focusing in particular on Ancient Greek. After a brief introduction to the notion of ‘causality’, it surveys the different types of causal expressions that are attested, and discusses the factors that may motivate the choice for one rather than the other expression. The last part of the entry gives an overview of some diachronic tendencies that can be found, and discusses the (lack of) continuity between Ancient and Modern Greek.
