οἱ δὲ ἀποσεμνύνοντες τὰ ἐς αὐτόν, παρατρέψαντες τοῦ Ἠλείου τὸ ὄνομα, Ἡλίου φασὶν Αὐγέαν παῖδα εἶναι.
The participles ἀποσεμνύνοντες and παρατρέψαντες form a substantival subject with οἱ; τὰ ἐς αὐτόν is their object, while παρατρέψαντες takes τοῦ Ἠλείου τὸ ὄνομα as an accusative object with genitive reference. φασίν governs the infinitival clause Αὐγέαν παῖδα εἶναι, with Ἡλίου as the genitive predicate complement of παῖδα.

τούτῳ βοῦς τῷ Αὐγέᾳ καὶ αἰπόλια τοσαῦτα ἐγένετο ὡς καὶ τῆς χώρας αὐτῷ τὰ πολλὰ ἤδη διατελεῖν ἀργὰ ὄντα ὑπὸ τῶν βοσκημάτων τῆς κόπρου·
τοσαῦτα is a neuter plural subject with ἐγένετο; the ὡς-clause is an ensuing result/consecutive construction, with τὰ πολλὰ ... ὄντα functioning as the accusative subject of διατελεῖν. The phrase ὑπὸ τῶν βοσκημάτων τῆς κόπρου is interpreted as an agent/source phrase modifying ἀργὰ ὄντα, though the exact semantic linkage is somewhat uncertain.
