[37] Ἀλέξανδρος: in appos. with the subj. of “ἔδυ”, expressed here for the sake of the contrast with “Ἀτρέος υἱόν”.
38 = “Ζ 325. — αἰσχροῖς”: i.e. reproachful, cf. “ὸνειδείοις Β” 277. 39 = 13.769. Δύσπαρι: a determinative compound (G. 132. 2; H. 590), stronger than “Unhappy Paris”; cf. “μῆτερ δύσμητερ ψ 97, Κακοΐλιον οὐκ” “ὀνομαστήν Ψ 19, Δύσπαρις, αἰνόπαρις, κακὸν Ἑλλάδι βωτιανείρῃ” Alcman 40. εἶδος ἄριστε: as v 124; in contrast with “Δύσπαρι”, cf. v. 45, “κάκ̓ ἐλέγχεα, εἶδος ἀγητοί Ε 787, Π” 142. Thus the excellence that is granted is made a reproach. ἠπεροπευτά: cf. v. 399.This text is part of:
