Exegesis
A parallel structure follows with ho thanatos kai ho hadēs {ὁ θάνατος καὶ ὁ ᾅδης | ho thá-na-tos kaí ho há-dēs} forming a compound subject for edokan {ἔδωκαν | é-dō-kan}. The shift from singular edoken to plural edokan matches the coordinated subjects and heightens the sense of cosmic powers (Death and Hades) being compelled to relinquish their hold.
