Open translation for this passage
λέγεται δὲ καὶ ὡς Κορινθίου συνεστῶτος πολέμου Πελληνεῦσιν ἀποκτείνειεν ὁ Πρόμαχος πλείστους τῶν ἀντιτεταγμένων.
The ὡς-clause is an indirect report dependent on λέγεται; Κορινθίου συνεστῶτος πολέμου is a genitive absolute, and ἀποκτείνειεν is an optative in indirect discourse with Πρόμαχος as subject and Πελληνεῦσιν as dative of reference/association. The exact force of ὡς and the optative is somewhat context-dependent.

λέγεται δὲ καὶ ὡς Πουλυδάμαντος τοῦ Σκοτουσσαίου κρατήσειεν ἐν Ὀλυμπίᾳ·
Infinitival/accusative construction is understood after λέγεται: ὡς introduces the reported clause, with genitive Πουλυδάμαντος τοῦ Σκοτουσσαίου as the subject of κρατήσειεν; the optative is oblique after a past reporting verb. The form κρατήσειεν is morphologically ambiguous in isolation but is treated here as aorist active optative, third singular.
