After Heracles died, Eurytheus wanted to kill off all of his sons. Iolaus wanted to protect Heracle’s sons, however he was too old to do this. So he prayed to the gods to give him the power and strength necessary to defeat his enemy. And Hebe granted him youth for a day to defeat Eurytheus. Some accounts of this story say that Iolaus killed him while others say that someone else killed him. In Euripedes’ tragedy, Iolaus took his enemy to his grandmother. Nonetheless, Eurytheus was defeated.
