[175] γενεή τε τόκος τε is an example of the kind of hendiadys formed by two nearly synonymous words: e.g. “κραδίη θυμός τε, ὕβρις τε βίη τε, βουλή τε νόος τε, ἀνείρεαι ἠδὲ μεταλλᾷς, μάχης ἠδὲ πτολέμοιο”, Lat. more modoque, Germ. ‘Art und Weise.’ The two meanings are fused, as it were, into a single more complete conception.
