Open translation for this passage
ὡς δὲ πρὸς ὕπνον ἐτράπετο ὁ Τριπτόλεμος, ἐνταῦθα Ἀνθείαν παῖδα Εὐμήλου τοὺς δράκοντάς φασιν ὑπὸ τοῦ Τριπτολέμου τὸ ἅρμα ζεύξαντα ἐθελῆσαι καὶ αὐτὸν σπεῖραι·
The reported infinitival construction is difficult: φασιν governs ἐθελῆσαι, while παῖδα is treated as its accusative subject; ζεύξαντα is an accusative participle whose agreement and attachment are uncertain in the transmitted wording.

Τριπτόλεμος δὲ καὶ Εὔμηλος Ἄνθειαν πόλιν οἰκίζουσιν ἐν κοινῷ, τοῦ Εὐμήλου παιδὸς ἐπώνυμον.
The coordinated subjects Τριπτόλεμος and Εὔμηλος take οἰκίζουσιν; Ἄνθειαν πόλιν is the object, and τοῦ Εὐμήλου παιδὸς ἐπώνυμον is a predicative/depictive phrase meaning that the city was named after Eumelus's child. The case of ἐπώνυμον is formally ambiguous (accusative agreeing with πόλιν or neuter nominative/accusative); analyzed here as an accusative predicative complement.
