[709] ἀν . . ἀνίστατο, an unusual repetition of the preposition. The only similar instance in H. is Od. 5.260 “ἐν δ᾽ ὑπέρας τε καλούς τε πόδας τ᾽ ἐνέδησεν ἐν αὐτῆι.” 2.720 “ἐρέται δ᾽ ἐν ἑκάστηι ἐμβέβασαν” is less harsh, as the first preposition goes more closely with the noun, the second with the verb. The phrase here is an expansion of the familiar formula without the verb (3.268, 7.168, etc.). Düntzer conj. “τῶι” for “ἀν”, cf. “ὅς μοι ἀνέστη” 635.
