The distinction of δέμας and φυή is not quite clear. From phrases like δέμας πυρός it would seem natural to take δέμας as ‘outward appearance’ generally; φυή as ‘growth,’ i.e. ‘stature.’ But this latter meaning belongs to δέμας in 5.801 Τυδεύς τοι μικρὸς μὲν ἔην δέμας. Perhaps we may render ‘stature and figure’ with about the same degree of vagueness. Cf. 13.432 κάλλεϊ καὶ ἔργοισιν ἰδὲ φρεσί.
