Sch.A Il.2.271, Apollon.Lex. s.v. ὧδε, A.D.Adv.178.25, Eust.792.2, al.); and most of the passages taken in this sense may be referred to signf.1.1 or 2, just as you see, v. supr.1.2: but hither seems prob. in Od.17.544, Il.12.346, 10.537: examples of ὧδε, hither, are found in Trag. (esp. in S., as OT7, 144, 298, OC 182 (lyr.), 841 (lyr.), 1206, 1547, Tr. 402); also in Com., as
