[*] 613. Rare attributive position. There are a very few examples of the attributive use of the type “ὁ ἀνὴρ ἀγαθός”. Here the adjective is appositive rather than predicative. In the Homeric examples, some consider the article as still a demonstrative. EUR. Hipp. 683-4: “Ζεύς σ᾽ ὁ” (so the Mss.; Wolff “σε”) “γεννήτωρ ἐμὸς”1 | “πρόρριζον ἐκτρίψειεν”.
.1 HOM. Od. 9.378: “ὁ μοχλὸς ἐλάι:νος” (cf. 375: “τὸν μοχλόν”), of olive (and green olive to boot 379). 464: “τὰ μῆλα, ταναύποδα, πίονα δημῷ”. 11.492: “τοῦ” (my) “παιδός, ἀγαυοῦ”. 17.10: “τὸν ξεῖνον, δύστηνον”, the stranger, ill bestead that he is. Il. 1.340: “πρὸς τοῦ βασιλῆος, ἀπηνέος”. 2.275: “τὸν λωβητῆρα, ἐπεσβόλον”. 21.317: “τὰ τεύχεα, καλά”, fine though they be.“ καὶ τἀμὰ τεύχη μήτ᾽ ἀγωνάρχαι τινὲς
θήσουσ᾽ Ἀχαιοῖς μήθ᾽ ὁ ῾σο μσς.; σξηαεφερ “μήτε”) λυμεὼν ἐμός
