[1138] ἐδεύετο: ἐδέετο, ἔχρῃζεν, ἀπῄτει: ἢ ὅτι ἐνελείπετο ὁ τῆς ἡμέρας καιρός. Schol. There are thus two interpretations: (1) 'the time of day demanded that she should return'; (2) 'the time of day was failing for her to return (so that she should return).' Seaton (Cl. Rev. iv 117) defends the latter, referring to the absolute use of δεύομαι in Il. 20. 122, μηδέ τι θυμῷ Δευέσθω, but the constr. is unique in either sense. Samuelsson defends his conj. ἐδύετο by Od. 13. 33, τῷ κατέδυ φάος ἠελίοιο Δόρπον ἐποίχεσθαι, taking ἤματος ὥρη either as = ἦμαρ, or = tempus opportunum, solitum (v. 899). We have ἦμαρ ἔδυ in 1407.
