νάρκισσον δὲ ἄνθος ἡ γῆ καὶ πρότερον ἔφυεν ἐμοὶ δοκεῖν, εἰ τοῖς Πάμφω τεκμαίρεσθαι χρή τι ἡμᾶς ἔπεσι·

The construction is elliptical: νάρκισσον ἄνθος is the object/topic of ἔφυεν, with ἡ γῆ as subject; δοκεῖν is an impersonal-looking parenthetical infinitive with ἐμοί. In the εἰ-clause, χρή governs τεκμαίρεσθαι, whose subject is ἡμᾶς and instrumental evidence is τοῖς Πάμφω ἔπεσι.

γεγονὼς γὰρ πολλοῖς πρότερον ἔτεσιν ἢ Νάρκισσος ὁ Θεσπιεὺς Κόρην τὴν Δήμητρός φησιν ἁρπασθῆναι παίζουσαν καὶ ἄνθη συλλέγουσαν, ἁρπασθῆναι δὲ οὐκ ἴοις ἀπατηθεῖσαν ἀλλὰ ναρκίσσοις.

The participial subject γεγονώς is predicated of the understood author/source; φησιν governs an accusative-and-infinitive construction. The second ἁρπασθῆναι is coordinated, with Κόρην understood as accusative subject; οὐκ ἴοις is retained as transmitted but morphologically/syntactically uncertain, likely involving a flower-name or textual variant.
