[222] Τυδέα: this use of the acc. with “μέμνημαι” is very unusual in H.; cf. 9.527 “τόδε ἔργον,” Od. 24.122 “τάδε πάντα”, and perhaps 23.361 (Ar. “δρόμους”, MSS. “δρόμου”), where the analogy is far from complete. Heyne suggests that there may be a pause after “Τυδέα”, ‘as for T.’ Diomedes means to explain how the friendship of Bellerophon with Oineus can be called “πατρώϊος”. Schol. T remarks trenchantly, but not without cause, “ἄτοποι οἱ δύο στίχοι”. They seem to be a sufficiently prosaic explanation of the omission of Tydeus' name.
