[25] ὧν ἴδες, κ.τ.λ. : see note on ii. 82. The aorists are to be taken as gnomic. The expression is obviously proverbially from the use of the masculine and the generic μή in τῷ μὴ ἰδόντι.

ὧν. The first ὧν is genit. by attraction; the second depends on εἷπες ('tell of'), cf. Odyss. xi. 174 εἰπὲ δέ μοι πατρός τε καὶ υἱέος. Tr. 'The sights you see are tales to tell another.'
