[207] κλάγξας: the eagle's cry is called a yelp by Tennyson. πνοιῆις, a comitative dat.; see on “κύμασι”, 28. Ap. Rhod. imitates the use in i. 600, iv. 1624,πνοιῆι Ζεφύροιο θέεσκον” , both times of a ship, where the case may rather be instrumental; though it would not be wrong to say that the eagle flew by means of the wind. “ἅμα πν. ἀνέμοιο” is the usual phrase.
