[189] ὀππότε: not ‘whenever,’ for the Trojans are not attacking; but like 2.97 “εἴ ποτε,” Od. 14.522 “ὅτε”, against the time when they should hear, i.e. expecting to hear, this idea being implied in the preceding words. The full phrase “δέγμενος ὁππότε” occurs 2.794, etc., cf. 4.334. ἐπί may go either with “ἀΐοιεν” or “ἰόντων”, but better with the last; “ἐπαΐω” does not occur in Homer.
