ἐκεῖνον μὲν δὴ αὖθις ἐξ ἐνυπνίων ἄλλων ὀπίσω τοῦ Λίνου τὰ ὀστᾶ ἐς Θήβας ἀποστεῖλαι,

Infinitival clause with an understood subject, likely dependent on a preceding verb: ‘to send those bones back to Thebes’; ἐκεῖνον is the accusative object of the understood/elliptical sending context, while τὰ ὀστᾶ is the accusative object of ἀποστεῖλαι. ὀπίσω τοῦ Λίνου means ‘back from/after Linus’ burial-context; the exact attachment of ἐκεῖνον is somewhat uncertain.

λέγεται δὲ καὶ ἄλλα τοιάδε ὑπὸ Θηβαίων, ὡς τοῦ Λίνου τούτου γένοιτο ὕστερον ἕτερος Λίνος καλούμενος Ἰσμηνίου καὶ ὡς Ἡρακλῆς ἔτι παῖς ὢν ἀποκτείνειεν αὐτὸν διδάσκαλον μουσικῆς ὄντα.

λέγεται is impersonal/passive ‘it is said’; two coordinated ὡς clauses are reported content. In the first, τοῦ Λίνου τούτου is a genitive of source/identity with γένοιτο; Ἰσμηνίου is a genitive dependent on the proper name Λίνος (the Ismenian Linus). In the second, Ἡρακλῆς is subject of ἀποκτείνειεν, with ἔτι παῖς ὢν concessive/temporal circumstantial participle; διδάσκαλον μουσικῆς ὄντα is predicative/secondary-predicate material referring to αὐτόν.

ἔπη δὲ οὔτε ὁ Ἀμφιμάρου Λίνος οὔτε ὁ τούτου γενόμενος ὕστερον ἐποίησαν· ἢ καὶ ποιηθέντα ἐς τοὺς ἔπειτα οὐκ ἦλθεν.

The first clause has coordinated subjects Λίνος and a substantival γενόμενος phrase. The second clause is elliptical and difficult: ποιηθέντα likely refers to ἔπη, with ἢ introducing an alternative (‘or, even if composed, it did not reach later generations’); the singular ἦλθεν has an implicit subject.
