[size=150]μή τι χολωσάμενος ῥέξῃ κακὸν υἷας )αχαιῶν.[/size]
I understand every word but I am not sure about which word belongs to which.
Does mh/ belong to ti (not anything) or to the participle (not angering) or the the finite verb (not doing).
Does ti belong to kako/n (something evil)?
Hi Bert, here I read that mh/ goes with r(e/ch| (a construction related to 1.26, expressing object of fear) and r(e/ch| takes a double accusative, kako/n and ui(=aj.
The commentators don’t agree on which word ti goes with, e.g.:
Benner says kako/n: http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/ptext?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0083&layout=&loc=2.195
It looks like Goodwin agrees (s 261): http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/ptext?doc=Perseus%3aabo%3asec%2c00005%3a261
Seymour however says mh/: http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/ptext?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0087&layout=&loc=2.195
Hi Bert,
Rearranging the word order:
[size=150]μή ῥέξῃ χολωσάμενος τι κακὸν υἷας )αχαιῶν [/size]
“May he not work in anger some evil against the sons of the Achaeans”.
At least that’s how I see it.
Cordially,
Paul
hi, after lunch I’ve come back to this little point again; Willcock also takes ti with mh/.
on reading Goodwin’s section again he may be taking ti (neut. acc.) as adverb to r(e/ch| (i.e. r(e/ch| ti), not as indefinite to kako/n (i.e. kako/n ti) as I first read him, I’m not sure exactly how he takes it
oh yeah and I meant Iliad 1.28 in my first post, not 1.26. I was just reading Goodwin 263 about this before I posted. 
Hi,
Simply to add to the stew, Cunliffe construes [size=150]τι[/size] with [size=150]κακόν[/size].
Cordially,
Paul
Considering the multitude of opinions, I don’t have to be embarrassed for stewing over this.
Thanks.
