[465] ὄφρα is perhaps to be taken with λελιημένος, compare 5.690λελιημένος ὄφρα τάχιστα ὤσαιτ᾽ Ἀργείους,Od. 19.367ἀρώμενος εἷος ἵκοιο”: see also 6.361, 16.653. In the second case, however, as well as in the present passage, it is possible to make “λελιημένος” = eagerly (as 12.106, 16.552βάν ῥ᾽ ἰθὺς Δαναῶν λελιημένοι”), “ὄφρα” going with the principal verb. Compare also note on 1.133, and H. G. § 307.
