[722] For a general account of the Homeric chariot see 24.266 ff. The body of the car was very light, and when not in use was taken to pieces and put upon a stand; see 8.441 “ἅρματα δ᾽ ἂμ βωμοῖσι τίθει, κατὰ λῖτα πετάσσας”. Hence the first thing to be done in making it ready was to put on the wheels, as is done here. For ὀχέεσσι most MSS. read “ὀχέεσφι”, a false form for “ὄχεσφι”.
