[241] κορέει, not “κορέσει”, is the correct fut.; see on 4.29. “κορέσηι” would be right as aor., cf. “κορέσειεν” 16.747; this is the only case of the act., all other aor. forms being mid. Compare also 8.379. For “ὅς κε” with fut. see on 1.175. The naïve confession of fear is not unworthy of the Homeric hero, and indeed heightens the glory of the subsequent success.
