[*] 564. The conjunction δέ sometimes introduces the clause on which a relative depends. Its force here is the same as in apodosis (512). E.g. Οἵη περ φύλλων γενεὴ, τοίη δὲ καὶ ἀνδρῶν. Il. vi. 146. Ἐπεί τε ὁ πόλεμος κατέστη, ὁ δὲ φαίνεται καὶ ἐν τούτῳ προγνοὺς τὴν δύναμιν, and when the war broke out, (then) he appears, etc. THUC. ii. 65. Μέχρι μὲν οὖν οἱ τοξόται εἶχον τε τὰ βέλη αὐτοῖς καὶ οἷοί τε ἦσαν χρῆσθαι, οἱ δὲ ἀντεῖχον, so long as their archers both had their arrows and were able to use them, they held out. Id. iii. 98. Ἐπειδὴ δὲ ἀφικόμενοι μάχῃ ἐκράτησαν . . . φαίνονται δὲ οὐδ᾽ ἐνταῦθα πάσῃ τῇ δυνάμει χρησάμενοι. Id. i. 11. Ὥσπερ οἱ ὁπλῖται, οὕτω δὲ καὶ οἱ πελτασταί. XEN. Cyr. viii. 5, 12.
