Hi,
I am confused about gramatical relation of those two words underlined below.
Is it ' Typhon's wrangling ' or anything else?
If you could explain this with some grammatical terms, it will be appreciated.
Thank you.

There was a battle between Typhon and Zeus, the supreme ruler of the Mount of . It began from Typhon wrangling with Zeus over power.

Sorry, I have one more question.
How do you think I should understand this part in bold, especially the part "to accentuate the eyes"?
Is it 'in order to accentuate the eyes'?
