[270] Ὀδυσῆος must surely be taken with νόστου, notwithstanding the construction “Ὀδυσῆος ἀκοῦσαι” in 17. 114, 525. Cp. 1. 287 “εἰ μέν κεν πατρὸς βίοτον καὶ νόστον ἀκούσῃς”, also 2. 215, 218, 264, &c.

περί with the gen. after verbs meaning to speak, hear, &c., is occasionally found in the Odyssey, but not in the Iliad.
