[88] νηόν, sc. to the temple. Cf. 10.195 “ὅσοι κεκλήατο βουλήν”; H. G. § 140. 4. Schol. T remarks “περισσοὶ οἱ δύο” (88-9), and Brandreth and van L. would reject 89, on the ground that the contracted “οἴξασα” for “ὀΐξ”. is not Homeric, that “κληΐς” in H. means bolt, not key, and that it is for Theano the priestess, not for Hekabe, to open the temple; cf. 298. The lines are not repeated by Hector, cf. 270.
