δυσπάρευνον: for the adj., compounded with a subst. akin in sense to λέκτρον, cp. O. T.518“βίου ... μακραίωνος”, and above O. T., 756 n. ἐνδατούμενος: cp. O. T.205 n. τὸν Οἰνέως γάμον: the gen. is most simply explained by the fact that “γάμος” implies alliance: cp. Soph. Ph.77“κῆδος Ἀδράστου λαβών”. Others understand, ‘the marriage granted to him by Oeneus,’ so that the constr, would be as with “δῶρον”.
