[148] ἰθύσας: governing “ἄντροιο” “making straight for the cave”; cf. Il. 15.693, and the gen. after “ἰθύς, α 119, γ” 17.

Πίονα Νηόν: not the cave generally, but the inner part, which was the nymph's special dwelling-place; cf. the use of “ναός”=the cella of a temple. The word recognizes her divinity, and perhaps alludes also to a later cult in the cave; cf. 247.
