[26] ξὺν Βορέηι ἀνέμωι is to be taken with “πέμψας”, as we say ‘to go with the wind.’ “α_μα πνοιῆις” is the commoner phrase, but “ξύν” suits the marked personification, ‘in the company of.’ Schol. T gives two very inferior alternatives, “ἄδηλον πότερον ῞ηρα καὶ Βορρᾶς ἀνέπεισαν τὰς θυέλλας, ἢ ῞ηρα ἅμα Βορρᾶι καὶ τὰς θυέλλας ἔπεισεν”. The variant “ἀνέμων” would be tempting if better attested.
