Eur. Med. 1112 λύει ... ἐπιβάλλειν (λύει +inf.)

[ἑκηβόλος]

@1112 - 1115

πῶς οὖν λύει πρὸς τοῖς ἄλλοις
τήνδ᾽ ἔτι λύπην ἀνιαροτάτην
παίδων ἕνεκεν
θνητοῖσι θεοὺς ἐπιβάλλειν; 1115

Two questions here:
Is this some type of impersonal construction with λύει?
What noun is understood with πρὸς τοῖς ἄλλοις (sc. ???)?

[mwh]

1. λύει = λυσιτελεῖ.
2. None. Cf. e.g. και τα λοιπα = κτλ = etc.

@LSJ

V.2. τέλη λύειν, = λυσιτελεῖν, pay, profit. avail, ἔνθα μὴ τέλη λύει φρονοῦντι where it boots not to be wise, S.OT 316: but more freq. λύει without τέλη, construed like λυσιτελεῖ, abs., “λύει δ᾽ ἄλγος” E.Med.1362, cf. PSI4.400.16: c. dat. pers., “φημὶ τοιούτους γάμους λύειν βροτοῖσιν” E.Alc.628, cf.Hipp.441: c. inf., πῶς οὖν λύει . . ἐπιβάλλειν; Id.Med.1112 (anap.); ἐμοί τελύειτοῖσιμέλλουσιν τέκνοις τὰ ζῶντ᾽ ὀνῆσαι it is good for me to benefit my living children by means of those to come, ib.566; “λύει ἀπελθεῖν” UPZ77i12 (ii B.C.): c. acc. et inf., λύει γὰρ ἡμᾶς οὐδέν, οὐδ᾽ ἐπωφελεῖ, . . θανεῖν it is not expedient that we should die (οὐδ᾽ ἐπωφελεῖ being parenthetic), S.El. 1005; “οὐ γάρ με λύει . . κακορροθεῖσθαι” E.Sthen.Prol.35; cf. λυσιτελέω.

Two more questions:
Assuming that λύει means “fulfil”, “accomplish” in this context, which meaning of τέλη is used (understood) in that phrase? Is it “expenditure”?
Does (anap.) in reference to this line in LSJ mean “anapest” (˘ ˘ ¯), if so, I’m confused, isn’t the upsilon of λύω long?

See dues (1.8) in the τέλος article. Maybe also 1.6 (dues to the gods).

For anapests, see mwh’s post on them in the pinned “meter in tragedy” thread.
