πρῶτος μὲν ἐν ὕμνῳ τῷ ἐς Ἀχαιίαν ἐποίησεν Ὠλὴν Λύκιος ἀφικέσθαι τὴν Ἀχαιίαν ἐς Δῆλον ἐκ τῶν Ἑπερβορέων τούτων·
The infinitive ἀφικέσθαι is the complement of ἐποίησεν; Ὠλὴν Λύκιος is the nominative subject of the finite verb, while τὴν Ἀχαιίαν is the infinitival subject/accusative and ἐς Δῆλον its destination. The relative-like τῷ ἐς Ἀχαιίαν modifies ὕμνῳ; τούτων modifies Ἑπερβορέων.

ἔπειτα δὲ ᾠδὴν Μελάνωπος Κυμαῖος ἐς Ὦπιν καὶ Ἑκαέργην ᾖσεν, ὡς ἐκ τῶν Ὑπερβορέων καὶ αὗται πρότερον ἔτι τῆς Ἀχαιίας ἀφίκοντο καὶ ἐς Δῆλον·
Main clause has ᾖσεν as root, with ᾠδὴν as object and the genitive Μελάνωπος Κυμαῖος as a genitival attribution/author phrase; ὡς introduces a content/explanatory clause, whose subject αὗται is coordinated with two prepositional destinations and whose ἀφίκοντο governs ἐκ τῶν Ὑπερβορέων and ἐς Δῆλον. The genitive τῆς Ἀχαιίας is dependent on πρότερον understood as a temporal comparison (‘before [the time] of Achaia’), with some syntactic uncertainty.
