[131] χαλεποί, dangerous, hard to endure. The infin. φαίνεσθαι is added loosely, for their appearing openly, cf. 21.482, 1.589 “ἀργαλέος γὰρ Ὀλύμπιος ἀντιφέρεσθαι”, and other instances in H. G . § 232. ἐναργεῖς, cf. Od. 3.420 “Ἀθήνην, ἥ μοι ἐναργὴς ἦλθε θεοῦ ἐς δαῖτα θάλειαν,” Od. 16.161 “οὐ γάρ πως πάντεσσι θεοὶ φαίνονται ἐναργεῖς,” Od. 7.201, and Virg. Aen. iv. 358 “ipse deum manifesto in lumine vidi.” Fick, to avoid the contracted termination, writes “ἐναργές”, assuming a wrong transliteration of the original -“ΕΣ”.
