mvp-comment-453-1 δίας Ἀθάνας 1

mvp-comment-453-2 Other explanations are the following. (1) The poet meant to add something to the effect of

ἠτίμασε τὴν παραίνεσιν
, but changed the form of the sentence. (2)
Ἀθάνας, ἡνίκα..ηὐδᾶτο
stands for a gen. absol.,
Ἀθάνας αὐδωμένης
. (3) The gen. depends on
ἔπος
in 773, ‘a saying about her,’ like
μῦθος..φίλων
( Ant. 11 ).

mvp-comment-453-3 The most attractive remedy is Mehlhorn's, δίαν Ἀθάναν 2

mvp-comment-453-4 If, on the other hand, δίας Ἀθάνας 3 δεύτερον 4
