[257] κίον looks like an imperf., they were going when Achilles stopped them. In 24.801 it is, in the same connexion, an aor., and so all the forms found in H. may be (“κιών, κιεῖν” are the traditional accents, and no pres. indic. “κίω”, etc., is ever found before Aisch. Cho. 680). It is not unlikely that before the addition of the funeral games this line was continued by 24.3, “αὐτὰρ Ἀχιλλεύς” being the catchword just as in 11.664-762. Then “κίον” gains its usual force.
