Enarephorus was the son of Hippocoön and the nephew of
Tyndareüs. He planned to abduct
Helen when she was still a child, so the wary Tyndareüs entrusted her to
Theseus to look after. In view of his
failure as a cradle-snatcher, Enarephorus has a highly inappropriate name, since it means 'spoil winner', from enara, 'booty', 'spoil' and phero, 'to win'.
