[1]
Homer,
Iliad 20.166 (web address 1). The substance of this entry is from the scholion there. cf.
omega 253.
[2] That is, the plural participle "assembling" may modify the singular noun
δῆμος ("people") because it is a collective noun. But in
Homer, the participle actually modifies
ἄνδρες "men" in line 165, and
πᾶς δῆμος is in apposition with the plural subject.
