[12] ἔσχετο: Baumeister's objection to this word, which he thinks a contradiction of “ἐκινήθη”, is unfounded; “ἔσχετο” is defended by “στῆσεν . . . ἵππους”. Nature was first upheaved by terror at the coming of Athena, and then her regular course was stopped; the sea was “stayed,” and no longer heat on the shore.
