Open translation for this passage
ἔδει δὲ ἄρα Κάδμον καὶ τὸν σὺν αὐτῷ στρατὸν ἐνταῦθα οἰκῆσαι κατὰ τοῦ θεοῦ τὴν μαντείαν, ἔνθα ἡ βοῦς ἔμελλε καμοῦσα ὀκλάσειν·
Impersonal ἔδει governs the accusative-and-infinitive construction Κάδμον ... οἰκῆσαι; καμοῦσα is aorist active participle agreeing with βοῦς and subordinate to ὀκλάσειν. The exact force of κατὰ τοῦ θεοῦ is somewhat idiomatic/uncertain.

ἀποφαίνουσιν οὖν καὶ τοῦτο τὸ χωρίον.
Τοῦτο τὸ χωρίον is a neuter nominative phrase; with ἀποφαίνουσιν it is most naturally the thing demonstrated/identified, though case and construction may reflect an impersonal or nominative-predicate analysis.

ἐνταῦθα ἔστι μὲν ἐν ὑπαίθρῳ βωμὸς καὶ ἄγαλμα Ἀθηνᾶς · ἀναθεῖναι δὲ αὐτὸ Κάδμον λέγουσι.
The sentence contains a μέν...δέ contrast: an existential clause followed by λέγουσι with an accusative-and-infinitive complement. αὐτό is morphologically neuter despite Κάδμον as the clear accusative infinitive subject, so its syntactic interpretation is uncertain.

The initial dative participial phrase is the experiencer/subject of ἔστιν; the explanatory ὅτι-clause gives the two alternative names in a passive naming construction.
