Greek Mythology > People, Places, & Things > Iole
Iole was the daughter of Eurytus and had the dubious honor of being offered as the prize in an archery competition.
The encounter with Iole can be included in the Deeds (praxeis) of Herakles (Heracles); Eurytus offered Iole as the prize in an archery competition which Herakles entered; the winner of the competition would be allowed to marry Iole; Herakles won the contest but Eurytus refused to allow Herakles to have Iole as his wife; in an act of revenge, Herakles killed Eurytus and his sons and took Iole as his mistress.
