Open translation for this passage
τὰ δὲ ἐς τὸν μέγαν βωμὸν ὀλίγῳ μέν τι ἡμῖν πρότερόν ἐστιν εἰρημένα, καλεῖται δὲ Ὀλυμπίου Διός·
The neuter plural subject τὰ refers anaphorically to matters/details concerning the altar; εἰρημένα is a neuter plural perfect middle/passive participle, with ἡμῖν as dative agent/experiencer. The second clause καλεῖται has an understood referent, likely βωμός/τὸ προκείμενον, and Ὀλυμπίου Διός is a genitive of dedication or specification.

μετὰ δὲ τοῦτον Ἀπόλλωνος καὶ Ἑρμοῦ βωμός ἐστιν ἐν κοινῷ, διότι Ἑρμῆν λύρας, Ἀπόλλωνα δὲ εὑρέτην εἶναι κιθάρας Ἑλλήνων ἐστὶν ἐς αὐτοὺς λόγος.
The first clause has a shared altar: μετὰ τοῦτον is an adverbial phrase, and Ἀπόλλωνος καὶ Ἑρμοῦ are genitives dependent on βωμός. The causal clause uses an accusative-and-infinitive construction (Ἑρμῆν ... εὑρέτην ... εἶναι and Ἀπόλλωνα ... εὑρέτην ... εἶναι), with λύρας and κιθάρας as genitive objects of εὑρέτην; Ἑλλήνων modifies κιθάρας. ἐστὶν ἐς αὐτοὺς λόγος is an idiom meaning there is a tradition/report concerning them.
