Summary/Abstract: The ἔχω + infinitive construction has a long, interesting and contentious history. Its use as a future periphrasis has been examined time and again in the past century and a half. The latest and most influential study of its history is the one by Th. Markopoulos. We have reexamined the works and documents written between Homer and the end of the 3rd century A.D. The resulting changes in the chronology of the passages containing this construction have led us to reevaluate its development.
