[219] “οἱ .. πατρί”, as 17.196 οἱ θεοὶ Οὐρανίωνες

πατρὶ φίλωι ἔπορον”. In these and many similar phrases “οἱ” = his; but Bentley's “ϝῶι” is tempting. Cheiron is mentioned again as having taught medicine to Achilles in 11.832, and as having given Peleus the ‘Pelian spear,’ 16.143, 19.390, but none of the other legends about him are alluded to by Homer.
