πλαγθέντας, foiled, lit. driven from the course; cf. 2.132 οἵ με μεγα πλάζουσι. The MSS. write παλιμπλαγθέντας in one word, which is so far right, as it indicates that πάλιν is to be taken in a purely local sense. There is an old and wrong explanation, that πάλιν means ‘once again,’ and contains an allusion to the legend, unknown to Homer, of a previous expedition against Troy in which the Greeks had lost their way, and invaded Mysia by mistake. See note on 2.276. |
