Character History
The intrigues of the ancient Greek gods markedly reflected on the lives of ordinary mortals. For example, a pathetic and cowardly Eurishevo became the ruler of a large city and the Lord of Hercules only along the whims of the jealous ger. It would seem like a similar gift of fate should be able to dispose of. However, the smug descendant of Persea spent the possibility of wasted.History of origin
The first references to Eurisfay, the son of Sfenel and Nikippi, are associated with myths dedicated to the twelve exploits of the famous Hercules. In ancient Greek works, a man acts as an antagonist of a positive character. At the same time, the confrontation of the heroes is not tied to personal dislike, but on the conflict of the gods.
Later, the image of Eurisfai involved the ancient Greek playwright of Euripid. The creator of dramatic works used an ambiguous hero in the tragedy "Geraklida". The resulting character, apparently, was interested in the writer, as Evripid returned to Eurissife in the new creation and even made the King Argolid to the main hero. Alas, the drama, the name of which is consonant with the name of the character, practically not preserved.

Evirshee appeared in the city of Mycena, where the parents of the boy ruled. From the very birth, the future king is connected with the cousin Hercules. Both men occurred from the family of Perseus - the famous warrior. At the moment of birth, the Olympus had a dispute, which strongly changed the fate of Eurisfay.
Zeus-stumers, confident that Hercules will appear first on the world, said Greece's gods, that the first grandson of Persea will be the great ruler of Argos.

The cousin of the demigod died on the hands of Gila - the senior son of Hercules. Eurisfay's head was taken by the Alcmen, which, according to the fault of Eurisfay, withstand a lot of troubles and humiliation. Woman wicked by a dead enemy of the eye of Verhener.
