[156] δολιχαύλους. The “αὐλός” was a metal ferule or collar by which the spear-head was attached to the shaft; cp. Il.17. 297“ἐγκέφαλος δὲ παρ᾽ αὐλὸν ἀνέδραμεν ἐξ ὠτειλῆς”. The epithet only means that the spear was ‘long;’ the emphasis lies on “δολίχος”, the other part of the word merely gives a feature common to all spears. See note on “δένδρεον ὑψιπέτηλον” Od.4. 458.
