Greek represents a separate branch of the Indo-European language family. Ancient Greek is a language of the 8th century BC – 1st century AD. Majority of adjective valence examples here come from classical authors of 4th and 5th centuries BC, such as Plato, Xenophon, Aristophanes, Aristotle. Few examples are taken from Homer (roughly 8th century BC), Septuaginta (3rd century BC) and Josephus Flavius (1st century AD). Greek corpus is very extensive.

Greek is a fusional language with a free word order.

Note: When a language has a syntactic capacity of forming an adjective valence phrase, but such phrase was not found in the corpus by the researcher, the slot is labeled "Not found". When a language does not have the capacity (e.g., does not employ certain case), the slot is labeled "No data".
