τοῖς μνηστῆρσιν Ἰκάριον τῆς Πηνελόπης φασὶν ἀγῶνα προθεῖναι δρόμου· καὶ ὅτι μὲν Ὀδυσσεὺς ἐκράτει, δῆλά ἐστιν,
The infinitive προθεῖναι is the complement of φασίν, with Ἰκάριον as its accusative subject and ἀγῶνα as its object; δρόμου is a genitive dependent on ἀγῶνα. The final ὅτι-clause is a content clause with μὲν left resumptively/contrastively open; δῆλά ἐστιν is impersonal (‘it is clear’).
