Eurytus - Mythology. Greek King of Oechalia, father of iole. Eurytus was a renowned archer. He promised his daughter Iole, to anyone who could shoot better than he. The great hero Heracles won the contest, but Eurytus accused Heracles of using poisoned arrows and furthermore of being a slave of Eurystheus and therefore unworthy of a king's daughter. Eurytus refused to honor Heracles' right to the hand of Iole. For this Eurytus died at the hand of Heracles, but Heracles was also to die because of Iole.
