[242] ὀλέσαι: van L. “ὀλέσας”, on the ground that the word usually means destroy rather than lose (21.216, Od. 11.318, Od. 12.349, etc.). For the pregnant sense of γνώσεσθε, ye shall know what this means, see 8.406ὄφρ᾽ εἰδῆι γλαυκῶπις ὅτ᾽ ἂν ὧι πατρὶ μάχηται”, and the passages there quoted. For the constr. of the next line cf. 18.258.
