[431] ἅρμασι χρυσείοισι: the short vowel before “χρ” is rare, according to La Roche, Hom. Unters. i. p. 41, who allows as a certain instance in Homer only Il. 23.186 “ ῥοδόεντι δὲ χρῖεν”. But the shortening is probable in several other passages, e.g. Il. 24.795 “, θ” 353. See Agar in Class. Rev. April 1901. In the Hymns cf. h. Apoll. 293, 439, h. Herm. 332, viii. 1, Orph. h. lv. 18.
