ἔστι δὲ καὶ Ἡρακλῆς παρὰ τῇ Δήμητρι μέγεθος μάλιστα πῆχυν·
Existential εἰμί has Ἡρακλῆς as nominative subject; παρὰ τῇ Δήμητρι is locative/associative, while μέγεθος πῆχυν expresses size, with μάλιστα modifying πῆχυν. The exact construction μέγεθος ... πῆχυν is somewhat elliptical.

τοῦτον τὸν Ἡρακλέα εἶναι τῶν Ἰδαίων καλουμένων Δακτύλων Ὀνομάκριτός φησιν ἐν τοῖς ἔπεσι.
Accusative-and-infinitive construction: Ὀνομάκριτος φησιν governs τοῦτον τὸν Ἡρακλέα εἶναι; τῶν Ἰδαίων καλουμένων Δακτύλων is a genitive phrase, with καλουμένων agreeing with Δακτύλων and likely expressing 'called the Idaean Dactyls.'

κεῖται δὲ τράπεζα ἔμπροσθεν, ἐπειργασμέναι τε ἐπʼ αὐτῇ δύο τέ εἰσιν Ὧραι καὶ ἔχων Πὰν σύριγγα καὶ Ἀπόλλων κιθαρίζων·
The passage uses a descriptive coordination: the Hours are worked onto the table, while Pan holds a syrinx and Apollo plays the cithara; attachment of the participial clauses to the coordinated nominal description is somewhat schematic.

ἔστι δὲ καὶ ἐπίγραμμα ἐπʼ αὐτοῖς εἶναι σφᾶς θεῶν τῶν πρώτων.
Impersonal ἔστι introduces an infinitival subject εἶναι; ἐπίγραμμα is the predicative nominative, while σφᾶς is accusative subject of the infinitive and θεῶν τῶν πρώτων is a genitive dependent on σφᾶς, likely ‘of the first gods’.
