@Ron,
Prepositions that take the accusative and dative case objects function adverbially, the ones which take the genitive function as adjectives. A mini diagram would look like this. DIA is modifying EXETE
x / EXETE/ HN
/ EIS / TOUS AGIOUS
/----------------------------------
/ /PANTAS
/ ----------------
/ DIA/ THN EPIDA
