[283] Ἀχιλλῆϊ may be taken with “χόλον” (thine anger with Achilles), or better, on account of the order of the words, with “μεθέμεν” as a sort of dat. commodi, relax in favour of Achilles. Cf. Od. 21.377 “μέθιεν χαλεποῖο χόλοιο Τηλεμάχωι. μέγα” is perhaps an adverb, such as continually precedes “πάντες”: cf. 78 “μέγα πάντων Ἀργείων κρατέει”, and “ἐύ πάντα, μάλα πάντα, ἅμα πάντα”, often.
