[10] ποδῶν δ᾽ ὑπὸ δοῦπον ἀκούω. The constr. must be “ὑπὸ ποδῶν”: cp. Il.2. 465“ὑπὸ χθὼν σμερδαλέον κονάβιζε ποδῶν”. So Hes. Theog.70“ἐρατὸς δὲ ποδῶν ὕπο δοῦπος ὀρώρει” (cp. Hes. fr. 70). This constr. is confined in general to verbs expressing motion, or sound made (as in the passages quoted). In this place we must suppose a construction ad sensum, “δοῦπον ἀκούω” being=“δοῦπος γίγνεται”. The force of ὑπό is half-way between the literal sense of ‘under’ and the derived sense of ‘caused by.’
