Open translation for this passage
ὁ δὲ ἐπὶ τῷ βάθρῳ τῷ ὑψηλᾷ Λυσίππου μέν ἐστιν ἔργον, μέγιστος δὲ ἁπάντων ἐγένετο ἀνθρώπων πλὴν τῶν ἡρώων καλουμένων καὶ εἰ δή τι ἄλλο ἦν πρὸ τῶν ἡρώων θνητὸν γένος·
The text has an apparent agreement anomaly in τῷ ὑψηλᾷ; the phrase is construed as the dative location ἐπὶ τῷ βάθρῳ, with ὑψηλᾷ retained as an anomalous modifier. The latter εἰ-clause is elliptical and parenthetical.
