[1075] The subject to ἀναρρήξει is κακά, not ἡ γυνή: for （1） ἡ γυνὴ ἀναρρήξει κακά would mean, “the woman will burst forth into reproaches, ” cp. Aristoph. Kn. 626 “ὁ δ᾽ ἄρ᾽ ἔνδον ἐλασίβροντ᾽ ἀναρρηγνὺς ἔπη”: Pind. fr. 172 μὴ πρὸς ἅπαντας ἀναρρῆξαι τὸν ἀχρεῖον λόγον: （2） the image is that of a storm bursting forth from a great stillness, and requires that the mysterious κακά should be the subject: cp. Soph. Aj. 775 “ἐκρήξει μάχη”: Aristot. Meteor. 2.8 “ἐκρήξας ... ἄνεμος.”
