[28] See 4, 17.548. The genitive ἀνθρώπων is curious, as we should have expected a dative; but cf. 4.84ἀνθρώπων ταμίης πολέμοιο”, and, by what is perhaps more than a coincidence, “Φόβος βροτῶν” in the lines quoted on 37. It seems to be a sort of ablatival use, ‘from the side of men,’ i.e. in their eyes.
