Greek Mythology > People, Places, & Things > Iolaos
The faithful companion of Herakles (Heracles).
Iolaos was related to Herakles in that he was the son of Herakles’ brother, Iphikles (Iphicles), and thus Herakles’ nephew; Iolaos accompanied Herakles on many of his adventures and played a prominent role in killing the nine-headed Hydra and is also featured as Herakles’ chariot driver in the poem, Shield of Herakles, where Iolaos and Herakles do battle with Ares and his son, Kyknos (Cycnus).
