[272] μίσησεν, with all other derivatives from the same stem, is elsewhere unknown to H. The addition of Τρωῖηισιν to the gen. δ́ηιων is hardly a Homeric construction; the most similar instances are 5.741 “Γοργείη κεφαλὴ δεινοῖο πελώρου,” 2.54 “Νεστορέηι παρὰ νηῒ Πυλοιγενέος βασιλῆος”, where the order of the words is more natural. The adj. may have been added as a gloss, the rest of the line being filled up in a manner which hardly suits the lines immediately preceding, where Zeus' help is given in another way. But the whole couplet is probably a feeble attempt to round off the preceding interpolation.
