Ἀσσησίης. Athena Assesia is probably a local deity adopted by the Greek settlers; this seems indicated by her cult epithet, for which cf. the place-ending ‘-assus’ (App. I. 4).


It would be usual in prose to have πρὶν ἄν after the negative, but H. usually, like Homer, writes . Cf. L. and S. s. v. B. II. 2 a.
