δοκεῖν δʼ ἐμοὶ δρόμου Ἰκάριος τὸ ἀγώνισμα ἐποίησε μιμούμενος Δαναόν.

Δαναῷ γὰρ τοῦτο ἐπὶ ταῖς θυγατράσιν εὑρέθη, καὶ ὡς γυναῖκα οὐδεὶς ἤθελεν ἐξ αὐτῶν διὰ τὸ μίασμα ἀγαγέσθαι, διέπεμπε δὴ ὁ Δαναὸς ἕδνων ἄνευ δώσειν ᾗ ἂν ἕκαστος κατὰ κάλλος ἀρέσκηται·
The sentence coordinates εὑρέθη, ἤθελεν, and διέπεμπε; the final relative conditional clause modifies the understood amount/extent of the future infinitive δώσειν.

ἀφικομένοις δὲ ἀνδράσιν οὐ πολλοῖς ἀγῶνα δρόμου κατέστησε,
The dative participial phrase ἀφικομένοις ... ἀνδράσιν is an adjunct specifying the men for whom the contest was instituted; κατέστησε takes ἀγῶνα as its object, with δρόμου as a genitive modifier. The exact force of the dative is somewhat context-dependent.

καὶ πρώτῳ τε ἐλθόντι ἐγένετο ἑλέσθαι πρώτῳ τῶν ἄλλων καὶ μετʼ ἐκεῖνον τῷ δευτέρῳ καὶ ἤδη κατὰ τὰ αὐτὰ ἄχρι τοῦ τελευταίου·
The construction is impersonal ἐγένετο ἑλέσθαι, with successive dative participants: πρώτῳ τε ἐλθόντι ... πρώτῳ ... τῷ δευτέρῳ ... τοῦ τελευταίου. The final κατὰ τὰ αὐτά means ‘in the same way’; μετʼ ἐκεῖνον is temporal (‘after him’).

τὰς δὲ ὑπολειφθείσας μένειν ἔφοδον ἄλλην μνηστήρων ἔδει καὶ ἀγῶνα ἄλλον δρόμου.
The impersonal ἔδει takes an accusative subject τὰς ὑπολειφθείσας with complementary infinitive μένειν; ἔφοδον and ἀγῶνα are coordinated accusative objects, with δρόμου dependent on ἀγῶνα. The exact semantic relation of μένειν to ἔφοδον is somewhat compressed.
