[218] ὡςὣς are correlatives: ‘as heaven brings one (like), so it ever brings his like.’ This was first pointed out by Mr. Ridgeway (Journ. of Phil. xvii. 113). The commentators take the second ὡς to be the Attic preposition “ὡς”, = “εἰς” or “πρός”. Such a solitary use is evidently most improbable. The interpretation here given of the particles “ὡς . . . ὥς” was proposed by Nitzsch, Sagenpoesie der Griechen, p. 176.
