[656] φύζαν ἐνῶρσεν, though not strongly supported, seems preferable to the vulg. “θυμὸν ἐνῆκεν”, which as Heyne suggests may have been wrongly taken from the line above; cf. 15.62, 366. But it is going too far to call the vulgate ‘intolerable’ with van L. The use of “θυμός” in H. is elastic enough to permit of such a phrase; cf. 691. “θυμὸν ἐνῶρσεν” is probably a transitional form which was altered to “ἐνῆκεν” on the analogy of “μένος, θάρσος”, etc. “ἐνῆκεν”.
