ἥκει τῷδ᾽ ἐπ᾽ ἀνδρί. We may render the prep. “"upon"” me, but properly it is rather “"against"” me;—the doom, from which there is no “ἀποστροφή”, advances to take him. Cp. O. T. 509 “ἐπ᾽ αὐτῷ πτερόεσσ᾽ ἦλθε κόρα”. (Not, “"in my case,"” as ib. 829.) The conjecture τῷδε τἀνδρὶ is needless, and impairs the solemnity of the words.
