[161] σχέτλιος, from “σχεῖν”, according to Schol., who interprets by “ὁ κατέχων ἐπίπολυ τοῦ θυμοῦ”. Rather from “σχέσθαι”, meaning ‘holding out’ or ‘holding with a firm grip,’ the very opposite of ‘selfsparing.’ Cp. Lat. improbus. Render, ‘hard.’

ἔπι. Bekk. and most modern editors write this with anastrophe of accent. It does not seem absolutely necessary to do so. Any how, “ἔπι” is adverbial to “ὦρσε”, ‘sent upon us disastrous strife.’ Cp. inf. 176; 5. 369; Il.9. 539.

δεύτερον αὖτις occurs again Od.9. 354; 19.65; 22.69; Il.1. 513.
