[430] “βίῃ κτλ”.: by force, against his will, as Od. 4.646; cf. “με βίῃ ἀέκοντα καθέξει Ο” 186.
ἀέκοντος: sc. “ἕθεν”, gen. of separation. Vs. 430-487. Chryseis is conducted to her home. The scene in Chrysa naturally intervenes between the promise of Thetis and its fulfilment, and thus seems to fill up in part the 12 days' delay; see on 3.121. “αὐτὰρ Ὀδυσσεὺς κτλ”.: cf. vs. 311 ff. For the beginning of the narrative, see on “αὐτὰρ Ἀχιλλεύς” v. 348.This text is part of:
