Open translation for this passage
τὰ μὲν δὴ ἄλλα ἑπομένοις ἡμῖν τῷ Φενεατῶν λόγῳ εἰκὸς προσέσται, τὸ δὲ ἄγαλμα Ὀδυσσέα ἀναθεῖναι τὸ χαλκοῦν οὐκ ἔχω πείθεσθαί σφισιν·
The first clause has ἄλλα as subject of προσέσται, with ἑπομένοις ἡμῖν τῷ ... λόγῳ as a circumstantial dative-participial phrase. In the contrastive clause, τὸ ἄγαλμα is the object of ἔχω and ἀναθεῖναι specifies its alleged dedication; χαλκοῦν is morphologically masculine accusative and is taken here with Ὀδυσσέα, though the article/word order is irregular.

οὐ γάρ πω τότε τοῦ χαλκοῦ τὰ ἀγάλματα διὰ παντὸς ἠπίσταντο ἐργάσασθαι καθάπερ ἐσθῆτα ἐξυφαίνοντες.
The clause means that at that time they did not yet know how to make bronze statues throughout, as if weaving a garment; ἐργάσασθαι is an infinitival complement of ἠπίσταντο, while ἐξυφαίνοντες is a comparative circumstantial participle.
