τὸν δὲ ὑπὲρ τῆς καλουμένης Θυρέας Λακεδαιμονίων ἀγῶνα καὶ Ἀργείων, Σίβυλλα μὲν καὶ τοῦτον προεθέσπισεν ὡς συμβήσοιτο ἐξ ἴσου ταῖς πόλεσιν, Ἀργεῖοι δὲ ἀξιοῦντες ἐσχηκέναι πλέον ἐν τῷ ἔργῳ χαλκοῦν ἵππον---τὸν δούρειον δῆθεν---ἀπέστειλαν ἐς Δελφούς·
The sentence has a μέν...δέ contrast: Sibyl foretold the contest, whereas the Argives, claiming greater merit, sent the bronze horse to Delphi. Future optative συμβήσοιτο is annotated with explicit uncertainty because UD features do not directly encode the Greek oblique optative.

τὸ δὲ ἔργον Ἀντιφάνους ἐστὶν Ἀργείου.
Copular clause: τὸ ἔργον is the subject, Ἀντιφάνους is a genitive possessor/author dependent on ἔργον, and Ἀργείου is a genitive predicate complement agreeing semantically with the work’s attribution/origin; the exact force of the two genitives is somewhat context-dependent.
