[56] ἠπείρου here means nothing more than the coast of the Aeolian isle; cp. Od.1. 162; 5.56. Odysseus must be considered to have led the way in the ship which he himself was steering, but there were several ships together, as we gather from Od.9. 544.The same conclusion is pointed to by the use of αἱ δέ sup. 54 and inf. 57.
