ὁ δὲ ἐν Δελφοῖς θεὸς ἔχρησε θάψαι Ἀλκμήνην ἐν τοῖς Μεγάροις ἄμεινον εἶναί σφισιν.
ἔχρησε governs the complementary infinitive construction θάψαι Ἀλκμήνην ... ἄμεινον εἶναι σφισιν; ἄμεινον is a predicative comparative adjective used substantivally/adverbially, with σφισιν as dative of advantage. The exact attachment of ἐν τοῖς Μεγάροις is syntactically somewhat ambiguous, here taken with θάψαι.
