[345] ἐέλπετο ‘was satisfied.’

ὃν ‘his,’ referring to Ulysses (not Athene, as the place of the clause leads us to expect). Cp. 21. 27 “ὅς μιν . . . κατέκτανεν ἐνὶ οἴκῳ”. But this ambiguity, and also the awkwardness of “ὃν κατὰ θυμόν” and “ἧς ἀλόχου” in the same clause, indicate a non-Homeric authorship.
