[506] Ἀστυάναξ, for the etymological introduction of the name cf. 6.402-3, with note there. The hyperbaton by which the name is put in the nom., as though it belonged to the principal clause, is curious; and is evidently not to be compared with the common idiom by which the subject of the rel. clause is made the object of the principal (“ἤιδεε ἀδελφεόν, ὡς ἐπονεῖτο”, etc.). It is easy enough to conjecture “Ἀστυάναχθ᾽”, but this is no better.
