[285] σπεῖο, for “σπέο”, according to Schulze (Q. E. 404) a case of lengthening due to the first arsis (see App. D); no satisfactory explanation on any other ground has ever been given. There is no reason to doubt that both it and “ἕσπεο” (or “ἔσπεο”, see on 5.423) have stood together in the text from the first. For the favourite story of Tydeus and the Kadmeians see 4.376 ff., 5.802 ff.
