1103. mvp-comment-776-1 κατερρακωμένος] 'Reduced to shreds,' the poison having devoured the substance of his frame. Cp. Aesch. Prom. 1023, σώματος μέγα ῥάκος,-said of Prometheus torn by the vulture.

1104. mvp-comment-777-1 τυφλῆς] ‘Blind,' i. e. 'Eluding sight.' Cp. supr. 1057, ἀφράστῳ. ἐκπεπόρθημαι] I am utterly destroyed.' Cp. Aj. 896, διαπεπόρθημαι,

1105. mvp-comment-778-1 ὠνομασμένος] Alcmena's name was often introduced in speaking of Heracles. Cp. supr. 19, 644: Aj. 130 ᾿Αλκμήνης γόνος: Aesch. Ag. 1040, παῖδα . . ᾿Αλκμήνης.

1106. mvp-comment-779-1 ὁ.. αὐδηθείς] ‘Who was named aloud.' Cp. Phil. 240, 1, αὐδῶμαι δὲ παῖς ᾿Αχιλλέως, Νεοπτόλεμος. There seems to have been a v. r. αὐθαδής, a curious instance of the mixture of mechanical and mental error which has given rise to some corruptions.
