[403] 403-4. For the exclamatory nom. see “νήπιος” 406, and 1.231. But in all other cases the adj. immediately follows the mention of the person referred to, whereas here Herakles has not been mentioned since 397. This suggests that 398-402 have been rather violently interpolated. Heyne remarks that Olympos is not the home of Hades. For ὀβριμοεργός Ar. seems to have read “αἰσυλοεργός”, which to our taste does not go well with the “αἴσυλα” immediately following. But cf. note on 8.527.
