Exegesis
The imperfect middle epynthaneto {ἐπυνθάνετο | e-pyn-thá-ne-to} introduces two indirect questions: tis eie {τίς εἴη | tís eí-ē} “who he was” using the optative for reported inquiry, and ti estin pepoiekōs {τί ἐστιν πεποιηκώς | tí és-tin pe-poi-ē-kṓs} “what he has done,” combining the present indicative with a perfect participle to convey completed past action with present relevance.
