235. It is remarkable that the use of the infinitive with ὡς, ὥς τε, οἷος, ὅσος, etc., is rare in Homer. The familiar construction of ὥς τε only occurs twice.
Il. 9.42 ἐπέσσυται ὥς τε νέεσθαι
is eager to return
Od. 17. 20 οὐ γὰρ ἐπὶ σταθμοῖσι μένειν ἔτι τηλίκος εἰμί,

Od. 21.173 τοῖον . . . οἷόν τε ἔμεναι

Od. 19.160 ἀνὴρ οἷός τε μάλιστα οἴκου κήδεσθαι
Od. 21.117 οἷός τ . . . ἀνελέσθαι.
