Archaea is an unknown quantity at this point
Default AA, CHC and Solon rescue

Διὸς δ' ετελειετο βουλή · 5 εξ οὑ δη τα πρωτα διαστητην ερισαητε
Ατρεϊδης τε Ϝαναξ ανδρῶν και δῑος Αχιλλεύς.


In the first sentence, Dios with a downward accent relates to Zeus, head God, but in the second sentence, dios with an elongated "iota" relates to being Godlike in relation to the following word for Achilles, why?
