θῦσαι δὲ ἐν Ἑλικῶνι Μούσαις πρώτους καὶ ἐπονομάσαι τὸ ὄρος ἱερὸν εἶναι Μουσῶν Ἐφιάλτην καὶ Ὦτον λέγουσιν,
The syntax is compressed: two infinitives depend on λέγουσιν, with an internal indirect statement (τὸ ὄρος ἱερὸν εἶναι Μουσῶν) and a coordinated accusative pair (Ἐφιάλτην καὶ Ὦτον) likely governed by the reporting verb.
