[110] This is the only instance of κεν with the infin. in H.; cf. 9.684. The addition of the particle to the second of two disjunctive clauses is found also in 11.431-33, Od. 4.546. It is more commonly added to both clauses, H. G. § 363. 2 b. It seems to serve here as a reinforcement of the “ἄν” above, which colours with its contingent tone the subordinate clauses depending on it. But we should certainly have rather expected the familiar “ἠὲ καί”.
