Open translation for this passage
ἐπίκλησις μὲν δὴ τῆς Ἀφροδίτης ἐστὶν ἡ Μορφώ, κάθηται δὲ καλύπτραν τε ἔχουσα καὶ πέδας περὶ τοῖς ποσί· περιθεῖναι δέ οἱ Τυνδάρεων τὰς πέδας φασὶν ἀφομοιοῦντα τοῖς δεσμοῖς τὸ ἐς τοὺς συνοικοῦντας τῶν γυναικῶν βέβαιον.
Two coordinated clauses share the copular description of Μορφώ; the infinitive περιθεῖναι is an accusative-and-infinitive complement of φασίν, with Τυνδάρεων as its understood accusative subject and ἀφομοιοῦντα agreeing with it. The final phrase τὸ ... βέβαιον is an articular adjective functioning substantivally as the object of ἀφομοιοῦντα; σύν-οἰκοῦντας is a substantivized participle modified by τῶν γυναικῶν.

τὸν γὰρ δὴ ἕτερον λόγον, ὡς τὴν θεὸν πέδαις ἐτιμωρεῖτο ὁ Τυνδάρεως, γενέσθαι ταῖς θυγατράσιν ἐξ Ἀφροδίτης ἡγούμενος τὰ ὀνείδη, τοῦτον οὐδὲ ἀρχὴν προσίεμαι·
The sentence rejects a second account: the ὡς clause supplies the content of the account, with γενέσθαι and its accusatives embedded in the reported proposition; exact attachment of ἐτιμωρεῖτο to γενέσθαι is syntactically somewhat compressed.
