Open translation for this passage
τῇ δὲ Οἰδιποδίᾳ κρήνῃ τὸ ὄνομα ἐγένετο, ὅτι ἐς αὐτὴν τὸ αἷμα ἐνίψατο Οἰδίπους τοῦ πατρῴου φόνου.
The dative phrase τῇ ... κρήνῃ is the recipient/possessor-like complement of ἐγένετο: the spring acquired its name; ὅτι introduces the causal clause. In the subordinate clause, Οἰδίπους is the subject of ἐνίψατο, τὸ αἷμα its object, and τοῦ πατρῴου φόνου is a genitive dependent on αἷμα, ‘blood of the patricide/father’s murder’; the exact semantic attachment of the genitive is somewhat compressed.
