ὅς γ̓, as 1215, O. T. 35, etc. The relative, with this causal force, refers to an antecedent (“σοί”) which is understood: O. C. 263 n. φάος, life, in place of imminent death. δέδωκας, followed by an aor. (666): cp. 928 f. χθόν᾽ Οἰταίαν: 490 n.—The repetition of the pron. “ὅς” has much the same rhetorical effect as the repetition of the verb (“δέδωκας”) would have with us.
