Open translation for this passage
ἐπεὶ δὲ ἀπελθόντος ἐξ ἀνθρώπων Ἡρακλέους ἐξῄτει τοὺς παῖδας Εὐρυσθεύς, ἐς Ἀθήνας πέμπει σφᾶς ὁ Τραχίνιος ἀσθένειάν τε λέγων τὴν αὑτοῦ καὶ Θησέα οὐκ ἀδύνατον εἶναι τιμωρεῖν·
The syntax is compressed: a genitive absolute precedes the main clause, and the final infinitival phrase with Θησέα/ἀδύνατον εἶναι is somewhat elliptical and uncertain in attachment.
