Syntactic/Grammatical Info
Context Parallel of Ulysses used to support MA's argument for wakefulness over sleep.
Comments Odyss.xii.370, 372. VdH comm: "γεγώνευν" is usually preferred by editors of Homer, but corrections by the second hand are uncertain/tend to restore textus receptus. On the form γεγώνουν see P.Chantraine, Grammaire Homérique I, Paris 1948 348; 439. Line 371 left out but MA's Homeric text not necessarily defective as Hauler assumed.
