[79] καί οἱ: for “καὶ ᾧ”. The rel. const. is abandoned as often in later Greek; cf. vs. 3 f., 162, 506; see § 1 d, G. 156, H. 1005. The last half of the verse repeats the same thought in reverse order.
Ἀχαιοί: used here without distinction of meaning from “Ἀργείων” at the beginning of the verse, see on v. 42; cf. 3.226 f. “Ἀργεῖοι” is never used at the close of a verse, while “Ἀχαιῶν” could not begin the verse.This text is part of:
