Exegesis
The closing clause kago auton arō {κἀγὼ αὐτὸν ἀρῶ | ka-gṓ au-tòn a-rō̂} ‘and I will lift him up’ combines coordination with first-person future resolve, making her promise emphatic. The structure thus moves from questioning to mistaken supposition to determined resolve in a compact dialogue.
