[598] ἡμιδαής: cf. Aen. 3. 578,Enceladi semustum fulmine corpus.

πέσεν: cf.

At Phaethon, rutilos flamma populante capillos,
Volvitur in praeceps, longoque per aera tractu
Fertur ...
Quem procul a patria diverso maximus orbe
Excipit Eridanus fumantiaque abluit ora.

The ablatival gen. with πίπτω does not seem to be found elsewhere, but in Eur. I. T. 1384 the Palladium is described as τὸ οὐρανοῦ πέσημα. See on 1. 1030.
