专有名词
-
A Mycenaean king of Tiryns (or, according to some authors, of Argos), in Argolis, son of Sthenelus and grandson of Perseus, who imposed the twelve labours on Heracles.
— "But why hasn't Iolaus killed Eurystheus?," she asks. In a witticism very much akin to Electra's "But where are the messengers?," Euripides has Alcmene ask, essentially, why the plot she is part of has just swerved from its expected course: Iolaus is supposed to kill Eurystheus, by tradition.
词源
Borrowed from Latin Eurystheus, from Ancient Greek Εὐρυσθεύς (Eurustheús).
