Open translation for this passage
πρὶν γὰρ ἐπὶ τῷ αἵματι καθαρθῆναι τῆς μητρός, Τροιζηνίων οὐδεὶς πρότερον ἤθελεν αὐτὸν οἴκῳ δέξασθαι· καθίσαντες δὲ ἐνταῦθα ἐκάθαιρον καὶ εἱστίων, ἐς ὃ ἀφήγνισαν.
The clause structure is straightforward overall, but ἐς ὃ is syntactically idiomatic and ἐκαθάιρον/εἱστίων may reflect coordinated imperfect actions with one orthographically uncertain form.
