ἔστιν ἀνθρώποις , κτἑ.: Pindaric approach by parallels, of which the type is given O. 1 (init.). See also O. 3.42, and compare N. 3.6: διψῇ δὲ πρᾶγος ἄλλο μὲν ἄλλου, | ἀθλονικία δὲ μάλιστ᾽ ἀοιδὰν φιλεῖ.

ἀνέμων: The wind is not necessarily suggested by the voyage of Agesidamos, but wind suggests rain. In Greece navigation and agriculture go hand in hand. Hesiod puts agriculture first.
