The first-person pronoun, appearing in various dialectal forms across Greek literature. The nominative ἐγώ (sometimes ἐγών) means simply 'I,' though Greek often omits it when the verb ending makes the person clear. When expressed, it typically carries emphasis: 'I myself' or 'I (in contrast to others).' The strengthened form ἐγώγε appears frequently in Attic Greek, meaning 'I at least' or 'I for my part.' Oblique cases come from a different root: genitive ἐμοῦ ('of me'), dative ἐμοί ('to me'), accusative ἐμέ ('me'). Enclitic forms (μου, μοι, με) provide unstressed variants. The pronoun enables personal assertions and contrasts throughout Greek discourse.
