[468]
The best comment on this and the
lines that follow is to be found in the
passage which Virg. has copied, Il. 23.
695 foll.:
“φίλοι δ᾽ ἀμφέσταν ἑταῖροι,
οἵ μιν ἄγον δἰ ἁγῶνος ἐφελκομένοισι πόδεσσιν,
αἷμα παχὺ πτύοντα, κάρη βάλλονθ᾽ ἑτέρωσε,
κὰδ δ᾽ ἀλλοφρονέοντα μετὰ σφίσιν εἷσαν
ἄγοντες.
αὐτοὶ δ᾽ οἰχόμενοι κόμισαν δέπας ἀμφικύπελλον.
”
