This week's Odyssey recall exercise was a resounding success! In an excerpt containing 5897 words, just two were recalled incorrectly, whereas in most weeks I would make ten or so such mistakes. Of course, there were a couple of dozen other, less serious errors such as incorrect case and accentuation, but only in the following lines did I get a word entirely wrong:
δ210: αὐτόν *μιν λιπαρῶς γηρασκέμεν ἐν μεγάροισιν,
δ240: πάντα *γὰρ οὐκ ἂν ἐγὼ μυθήσομαι οὐδ᾽ ὀνομήνω,
Coincidentally, μέν is the correct word in both instances!
As for my error at δ240, I don't know what induced me to use such an emphatic connective as γάρ, since the line is not explaining or justifying what came before. In the other case, I must not have been alert to the fact that δ210-211 are a pair of adversative clauses introduced by μέν and αὖ, respectively. So upon typing αὖ it didn't occur to me to go back and check that its complementary particle was present:
δ210: αὐτὸν μὲν λιπαρῶς γηρασκέμεν ἐν μεγάροισιν,
δ211: υἱέας αὖ πινυτούς τε καὶ ἔγχεσιν εἶναι ἀρίστους.
Another reason could be that I was too eagerly anticipating the upcoming verse δ244, a favourite of mine which does begin with αὐτόν μιν.
