[24] “ οὐδὲ μὲν οὐδέ ” 2.703, 12.212. The slaying of Hyperenor by Menelaos is mentioned in 14.516, but in a merely cursory manner, with nothing to explain the allusion here. Of course we may take ἔφατο (26) to mean thought, but even then we should have expected to find in “Ξ” some indication of the means by which Hyperenor shewed his contempt; unless Menelaos means to assume it for rhetorical purposes here.
