ὁ δὲ τὰ ἔπη τὰ ἐς Εὐρώπην ποιήσας φησὶν Ἀμφίονα χρήσασθαι λύρᾳ πρῶτον Ἑρμοῦ διδάξαντος· πεποίηκε δὲ καὶ περὶ λίθων καὶ θηρίων, ὅτι καὶ ταῦτα ᾄδων ἦγε.
The subject ὁ ποιήσας is the implied author of the quoted report; φησίν governs the infinitival clause Ἀμφίονα χρήσασθαι. Ἑρμοῦ διδάξαντος is a genitive absolute, while ὅτι introduces the causal/content clause with ταῦτα as object of ἦγε.

Μυρὼ δὲ Βυζαντία, ποιήσασα ἔπη καὶ ἐλεγεῖα, Ἑρμῇ βωμόν φησιν ἱδρύσασθαι πρῶτον Ἀμφίονα καὶ ἐπὶ τούτῳ λύραν παρʼ αὐτοῦ λαβεῖν.
Μυρὼ Βυζαντία is the subject of φησιν; ποιήσασα is a nominative circumstantial participle. The infinitives ἱδρύσασθαι and λαβεῖν are coordinated complements of φησιν, with Ἀμφίονα as the accusative subject of ἱδρύσασθαι and an understood Amphion as the subject of λαβεῖν; ἐπὶ τούτῳ is temporal/sequential.
