[197] For ἑκών Ar. read “ἑλών”: but “ἑκών” and “ἀέκων” are sometimes joined more from a desire of emphasizing the second than in strict logic; the phrase indeed may fairly be compared to “αἰνόθεν αἰνῶς” and “οἰόθεν οἶος”. The collocation recurs in a somewhat different sense, 4.43; cf. Od. 5.155 “οὐκ ἐθέλων ἐθελούσηι”, and Od. 3.272, Aisch. P. V. 19, etc., for somewhat similar reduplications. For the subj. δίηται cf. the instances in H. G. § 276 a.
