[352] τοῦδ᾽ ἀνδρός stands prominently for “Ὀδυσσῆος”, which follows epexegetically, like Od.1. 194“δὴ γάρ μιν ἔφαντ᾽ ἐπιδήμιον εἶναι”

“σὸν πατέρα”, or 20. 106 “ἔνθ᾽ ἄρα οἱ μύλαι εἵατο ποιμένι λαῶν”. The use of “ὅδε ἀνήρ” to represent the speaker is not known to Homer, with whom it always stands for one present, either to sense or (as here and 15. 388; 16. 364) to thought, Note that “ὅδε” and not “οὗτος” is used, comparing Od.6. 201 with interpretation there given.
