[425] ἑτοίμη (possibly conn. with “ἔτεος, ἔτυμος”, in sense ‘really existing,’ i.e. present, at hand) seems here to mean ‘brought to reality,’ i.e. successful, as we say ‘realized.’ Cf. 14.53, 18.96, Od. 8.384, the only other instances in H. except the often recurring “ὀνείαθ᾽ ἑτοῖμα προκείμενα”.

The Iliad, edited, with apparatus criticus, prolegomena, notes, and appendices. Walter Leaf. London. Macmillan. 1900.
