A quote by Ἀπολλόδωρος

Greek Homeric Greek and Early Greek Poetry

Hello folks.
I’ve recently been forced to start translating some Greek again for my studies and I’m grappling with the following quote (allegedly from Ἀπολλόδωρος ~180 BC):

«οἰκῆσαι δὲ ἐν Κύνῳ τὸν Δευκαλίωνα λέγεται καὶ τὴν Πύῤῥαν, καὶ τὴν Πρωτογένειαν ἐκεῖ τετράφθαι φασίν.»

Now I got most of this (though I have no idea where Kynos is), but the last two words trip me up. Can anyone help me out?

Ps. I wish I could provide more context, but this is the full quote, found in Schol. Pind. Ol. IX, 64, see: Boeckhius, Augustus, Pindari Opera, Quae Supersunt.; Tomus Secundus, (Lipsiae: Weigel, 1819), p. 216.

The two verbs are τρέπω and φημί.

You poor thing.

τετράφθαι: the relevant verb here is τρέφω, not τρέπω. bedwere wasn’t thinking.
φασίν means “they say.”
ἐν Κύνῳ: you can look up Cynus in Wiki.

That’s all the help you get from me my friend.

Thank you both! :slight_smile:
Once I’m done with the rest, I may ask feedback on my finished translations, if the admins allow.

which is where the acc. + inf comes from.
