Are you reading Homeric Greek? Whether you are a total beginner or an advanced Homerist, here you can meet kindred spirits. Beside Homer, use this board for all things early Greek poetry.
Well I know that τις, τινός is an enclitic but I can't for the life of me remember for sure if the definite article is one and this is the reason that τινÎÏ‚ lost its accent mark.
Pharr paragraph 554 lists the indefinite pronoun τὶς, τὶ as an enclitic, so that would explain it losing the accent.
I didn't see τινες as an interrogative therefore, but as an indefinite pronoun. Not sure about how I would translate it exactly. Perhaps '(we don't know) which ones were the leaders and chiefs of the Danaans', so 'who were the leaders and chiefs of the Danaans'.
