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 syntax is heavily participial: φησιν governs two infinitival complements, each elaborated by participles; the first infinitive is the reported clause after Νάρκισσος, and the second is coordinated with δέ/ἀλλά and contains an adversative instrumental contrast.
