Was tönt vereinigt euer Ruf mir abermals,
Von euch vernehmlich, deutlich aus des Fremdlings Mund?
War's, weil ein Bliz Kronions, weil ein Hagelsturm
1485
Mit Regen losgebrochen? Denn zu fürchten ja
Ist Alles, wenn in Wettern also stürmt der Gott.

1506. mvp-comment-799-1 τῆσδε τῆς ὁδοῦ Lit. In re- gard of thy coming hither;' i. e. Has brought thee hither for a happy end. Cp. Τr. 26, τέλος δ᾽ ἔθηκε Ζεὺς ἀγώνιος καλῶς. The unaugmented form in the middle of the verse is doubtful. Some have read τῆσδ᾽ ἔθηκε, others ἧκε τῆσδε, for which cp. II. 1. 479, τοῖσιν δ᾽ ἴκμενον οὗρον ἴει ἑκάεργος Ἀπόλλων. For the habit of the MSS. in frequently omitting the augment, cp. supr. 438.
