τί δέ σε φρένας ἵκετο πένθος;
Here τί is used as an adj. Can it be used this way in Attic or is this usage restricted only to Homer?

Re: τίς as adj
Adjectival τί shows up a lot in the NT. Xenophon figuring himself out in Anabasis: τί κατάκειμαι;
“One might get one’s Greek from the very lips of Homer and Plato." "In which case they would certainly plough you for the Little-go. The German scholars have improved Greek so much.”
