[538] ἧκ᾽ ἐπιδινήσας, ‘he whirled it round and flung it, and put into it [sc. the effort] vast strength.’ Said of Ajax Il.7. 269.

For ἐπέρεισε compare Schol. L. “β. συνεπέδωκεν ὅλον τὸ σῶμα τῇ βολῇ καὶ πάσῃ δυνάμει ἐχρήσατο”. The word is used without a direct object expressed in Il.5. 856ἐπέρεισε εἰς κενεῶνα”, the “ἔγχος” may easily be supplied from the foregoing words.
