τὰ γὰρ ἐς τὸν θάνατον Σοφοκλεῖ πεποιημένα τὸν Οἰδίποδος Ὅμηρος οὐκ εἴα μοι δόξαι πιστά, ὃς ἔφη Μηκιστέα τελευτήσαντος Οἰδίποδος ἐπιτάφιον ἐλθόντα ἐς Θήβας ἀγωνίσασθαι.
Main construction: τὰ ... πεποιημένα is the subject of εἴα, with τὸν θάνατον as its prepositional complement and Σοφοκλεῖ as dative of agent; τὸν Οἰδίποδος is an accusative nominal phrase, probably an appositional/specifying object of πεποιημένα. Ὅμηρος is the subject of εἴα, μοι the experiencer, and δόξαι an infinitival complement. The relative clause explains Homer’s authority; its participles are syntactically compressed and partly uncertain.
