[11] Τρώων, a curious case of the objective gen., ‘labour concerning the Trojans,’ i.e. the slaughtering of them. “τὸ περὶ τοὺς Τρῶας πονεῖν”, An.; cf. note on “Ἑλένης ὁρμήματά τε στοναχάς τε,” 2.356. It evidently cannot mean ‘the distress of the Trojans.’ MSS. do not give here the usual variant “φόνος”, which would seem a more natural expression.
