Do you have this in French, German?
i guess... we have this in English.

especially in verbs.
I've never seen that version before; only this one.

I can't find a hit of your version anywhere on the Web.
I went searching because I'm interested. I studied Classics at
university, and specialised in Homeric Studies. The opening lines of the Odyssey have stayed with me.
The ancient Greeks (especially the Alexandrians) standardised the
Homeric poems, and passed on one version. I don't recall hearing of
another.
Your ὃς καὶ looks rather acceptable as Homeric Greek.
Your ἔπεισεν, however, doesn't fit.
What have you done? Made changes to test if anyone might see them? Or,
maybe, picked up a version from private correspondence with someone
who's experimenting?
