πρὶν γὰρ ἐπὶ τῷ αἵματι καθαρθῆναι τῆς μητρός, Τροιζηνίων οὐδεὶς πρότερον ἤθελεν αὐτὸν οἴκῳ δέξασθαι· καθίσαντες δὲ ἐνταῦθα ἐκάθαιρον καὶ εἱστίων, ἐς ὃ ἀφήγνισαν.
Temporal πρίν-clause with articular infinitive; οὐδείς is the subject of ἤθελεν, and the final ἐς ὃ clause is temporal (‘until they purified’). The object of καθαίρω is likely understood αὐτόν; εἱστίων is an uncertain contracted/variant form, probably a coordinated verb meaning ‘purified’.

καὶ νῦν ἔτι οἱ ἀπόγονοι τῶν καθηράντων ἐνταῦθα δειπνοῦσιν ἐν ἡμέραις ῥηταῖς.
The subject is οἱ ἀπόγονοι, with τῶν καθηράντων as a genitive substantival participial modifier (‘of those who purified’); ἐν ἡμέραις ῥηταῖς denotes specified/fixed days. The exact antecedent of the aorist participle is context-dependent.

Genitive absolute κατορυχθέντων δὲ introduces the circumstances; φασίν governs the infinitival clause ἀπʼ αὐτῶν ἀναφῦναι δάφνην. The final ἡ πρὸ τῆς σκηνῆς ταύτης is an appositional/relative-like identification of the laurel; its precise attachment is somewhat elliptical.
