«/b»In «u»Greek mythology «/u», «b»Iole«/b» («u»Ancient Greek «/u»: was the daughter of «u»Eurytus «/u», king of Oechalia. According to the brief epitome by the so-called Apollodorus, Eurytus had a beautiful young daughter named Iole who was eligible for marriage. Iole was claimed by «u»Heracles «/u» for a bride, but Eurytus refused her hand in marriage. Iole was indirectly the cause of Heracles's death because of his wife's jealousy of her.
There are different versions of the «u»mythology «/u» of Iole from many ancient sources. The pseudo-«u»Apollodorus «/u» gives the most complete story followed by slight variations of his from «u»Seneca «/u»and «u»Ovid «/u» Other ancient sources (i.e. «u»Diodorus Siculus «/u», «u»Gaius Julius Hyginus «/u», and «u»Pseudo-Plutarch «/u») have similar information on Iole with additional variations.
