Re: Iolaus
in reply to a message by Kaye
Now I've found an official Hercules show site that says it's spelled like Iolaus. Do you think this is just a variation?

I believe it's a mispelt variation - the names are pronounced the exact same way.

The meaning of IolaosIt is derived from "ios" (=arrow) and "laos" (=people), hence meaning the weapon or strength of the people. Iolaos od Boiotia was Hercules' sidekick.
