Theadjective ἔναυλος,-ονis a hypostatic compound based on the phraseἐν αὐλῇ.InSophocles’ Philoctetes, it refers to the interior of the cavern where the protagonist lives (αὐλή‘dwelling’). In Euripides’ Phoenician Women, Eteocles and Polinices are compared in a simile to two lions fighting. The adjective ἐναύλουςhas been previously interpreted as meaning ‘being in a den / cave’ or, alternatively, ‘quarrelling over a den / cave’. A different meaning is here proposed: the lions fight pent up (αὐλή‘pen, fold’) in the space between the two armies.
