θώϋξεν αὐτόν. Porson on Eur. Phoen. 5 wished to read “θεῶν ἐθώϋξ̓” (omitting “αὐτόν”). But the change is unnecessary, if occasional omission of the augment is conceded to such “ῥήσεις” as this: cp. 1606. “θωΰσσω” denotes a loud, urgent cry (cp. Eur. Hipp. 219 “κυσὶ θωΰξαι”): here with acc. of the person called. πάντας, subject to στῆσαι. For this phrase, instead of “πᾶσι στῆναι τρίχας”, see on 150 “φυτάλμιος”. Cp. 1464. φόβῳ is causal dat. with στῆσαι, rather than modal dat. with δείσαντας, so that we should not compare Tr. 176 “φόβῳ... ταρβοῦσαν”: O. T. 65 “ὕπνῳ γ᾽ εὕδοντα.” ἐξαίφνης, though it has come in 1623 (and 1610): see on 554.
