[464] γαμβρός here and in 5.474 means brother-in-law (v. 429); elsewhere it always is found in the ordinary sense of son-in-law. κ̂ηδος is grief, not in the Attic sense family connexion, as is clear from the recurrence of the same phrase in 15.245, 16.516. This latter sense does not occur in H., though the word seems to be particularly used of grief at the loss of friends or kinsmen, e.g. 5.156, 6.241, etc.
