[294] From Agamemnon's complaint, vs. 287 ff., Achilles infers that he is expected to obey in everything (“πᾶν ἔργον”).
εἰ δή: “in case that I actually.” πᾶν ἔργον: only here before the formula “ὅττι κεν εἴπῃς” (cf. “Β 361, Ε 421, α 158, 389, β” 25, 161, 229). ὑπείξομαι: the form of the cond. is changed, and the fut. ind. is used in the protasis instead of the opt. with “ἄν”.This text is part of:
