[1356] ἀμφιγύοις: cf. Il. 13. 147, ἔγνεσιν ἀμφιγύοισιν, where four interpretations have been given: (1) having a γυῖον, a limb (of iron), at each end--the λόγχη and σαυρωτήρ; (2) having a λόγχη curved (γυ) on both sides; (3) bending to either side, elastic (so Leaf); (4) wielded with both hands. See also on ἀμφιγυήεις, 37 supr. In Soph. Tr. 505 ἀμφίγυοι means 'valiant rivals' (Jebb).
