[72] ἐύ seems to go with the verb, ‘aright,’ i.e. “δικαίως”. Paley quotes Aisch. Supp. 77, Aisch. Supp. 528 “ἄλευσον ἀνδρῶν ὕβριν εὖ στυγήσας”. Some however take it with πάντα as though “μάλα πάντα”, quite all. There certainly seems to have been a tendency to join “ἐὺ πάντες” together, but there is no case in H. where we cannot take “ἐύ” with the verb; in Od. 21.369 we must (“τάχ᾽ οὐκ ἐὺ πᾶσι πιθήσεις”, thou wilt not do well to obey the multitude).
