[254] “εὔξατο κτλ.”, could boast that he had driven his horses in front of Tydeides. This is the only case in Homer of “πάρος” with the genitive. It takes up πρότερος in the preceding line. La R., however, prefers to connect Τυδεΐδαο with “πρότερος”, and “πάρος” with σχέμεν, to drive right onwards, a use for which there seems to be no analogy whatever. ἐξελάσαι, a final infin. after “σχέμεν”: in Attic it would require “ὥστε. μαχέσασθαι”, aor., to take up the fight. πρῶτος: Tydeides, by a rather awkward change of subject.
