This thesis investigates the interaction of aspect and subjectivity in modal constructions. In the linguistic literature dealing with the connection between aspect and modality, a link has often been observed between imperfective aspect and modal readings.

Greek and Roman Comedy - Translations and Interpretations of Four Representative Plays
Much of what we know of Greco-Roman comedy comes from the surviving works of just four playwrights - the "Greeks Aristophanes" and "Menander" and the "Romans Plautus and Terence".

Whose Body
The stark naked body was lying in the tub.Not unusual for a proper bath, but highly irregular for murder -- especially witha pair of gold pince-nez deliberately perched before the sightless eyes.
