οὐ μή
οὐ μή
in independent sentences used either in Denial or in Prohibition.
in Denial, with Subj., chiefly of aor., οὔ τι μὴ ληφθῶ I shall not be captured, Aesch.; οὐ μὴ ἐσβάλωσιν they shall not make an inroad, Thuc., etc.:—οὐ μή with Subj. is commonly explained by the ellipsis of words expressing fear, which indeed are sometimes expressed, οὐ γὰρ ἦν δεινὸν μὴ ἁλῷ κοτε Hdt.; οὐχὶ δέος μή σε φιλήσῃ Ar. But οὐ μή are also used with fut. Ind., οὔ σοι μὴ μεθέψομαί ποτε Soph.; οὐ μὴ δυνήσεται εὑρεῖν he will not be able to find, Xen.
in Prohibition, οὐ μή is used interrogatively with fut. Ind. (chiefly of the 2nd person), = οὐ μὴ προσοίσεις χεῖρα; μὴ πρόσφερε χεῖρα Eur.; οὐ μὴ πρόσει μὴ πρόσιθι, Ar.
