Open translation for this passage
Ἔρωτα δὲ ἄνθρωποι μὲν οἱ πολλοὶ νεώτατον θεῶν εἶναι καὶ Ἀφροδίτης παῖδα ἥγηνται· Λύκιος δὲ Ὠλήν, ὃς καὶ τοὺς ὕμνους τοὺς ἀρχαιοτάτους ἐποίησεν Ἕλλησιν, οὗτος ὁ Ὠλὴν ἐν Εἰλειθυίας ὕμνῳ μητέρα Ἔρωτος τὴν Εἰλείθυιάν φησιν εἶναι.
Two coordinated clauses: ἄνθρωποι ... ἥγηνται governs an accusative-plus-infinitive; οὗτος ὁ Ὠλήν ... φησιν governs a second accusative-plus-infinitive. The relative ὃς modifies Ὠλήν, while οὗτος ὁ Ὠλήν resumes the subject.

Ὠλῆνος δὲ ὕστερον Πάμφως τε ἔπη καὶ Ὀρφεὺς ἐποίησαν· καί σφισιν ἀμφοτέροις πεποιημένα ἐστὶν ἐς Ἔρωτα, ἵνα ἐπὶ τοῖς δρωμένοις Λυκομίδαι καὶ ταῦτα ᾄδωσιν·
The first clause coordinates Ὠλῆνος and Ὀρφεύς as subjects of ἐποίησαν, with Πάμφως τε ἔπη as the coordinated object phrase. The impersonal/passive πεποιημένα ἐστίν governs ἐς Ἔρωτα; ἵνα introduces the purpose clause, with Λυκομίδαι as subject of ᾄδωσιν and ταῦτα as object. The attachment of καί before σφισιν is connective; τοῖς δρωμένοις is substantivized and governed by ἐπί.

ἐγὼ δὲ ἐπελεξάμην ἀνδρὶ ἐς λόγους ἐλθὼν δᾳδουχοῦντι. καὶ τῶν μὲν οὐ πρόσω ποιήσομαι μνήμην·
The first clause has an explicit first-person subject with ἐπελεξάμην; ἀνδρί is the dative complement of ἐπιλέγομαι, with the following participle agreeing in dative masculine singular. In the second clause, τῶν is a substantivized genitive plural, likely referring anaphorically to the previously discussed matters; πρόσω is an adverbial complement of ποιήσομαι, with μνήμην as its object.
