[95] τρώεσσι, at the hands of the Trojans, apparently a locative sense (H. G. § 145. 7 c). So 9.303 “ἦ γάρ κέ σφι μάλα μέγα κῦδος ἄροιο,” 22.217 “οἴσεσθαι μέγα κῦδος Ἀχαιοῖσι”, compared with “κλέος ἐσθλὸν ἐνὶ Τρώεσσιν ἀρέσθαι” 17.16. But this use is rare with the singular; “Ἀλεξάνδρωι” seems to be added as an analogical extension of the constr. rather than as a true dative.
