[114] Ar. rightly objected to Zen.'s reading of this line (see above) that “ἦ” = “ἔφη” is used only after the speech to which it refers, not as an introduction. θεούς from what follows can refer only to the Greek gods, Poseidon and Athene. The insertion of the prologue to the Theomachy (see Intr.) has probably suppressed some passage which made this clear. We should naturally suppose it to mean all the gods with whom we were dealing in 67-74. Cf. also 149.
