Exegesis
The sentence is built around a habitual past frame opened by Ἦν {Ἦν | Ēn} and then divided by the contrastive conjunction δὲ {δὲ | dé}, which marks a transition from daytime activity to nighttime movement.
The second temporal phrase τὰς δὲ νύκτας {τὰς δὲ νύκτας | tàs dé nýktas} mirrors the first and creates a deliberate day-and-night antithesis.
