Editing Heracles (section)

===Hylas===
While walking through the wilderness, Heracles was set upon by the [[Dryopes]]. In [[Apollonius of Rhodes]]'s ''[[Argonautica]]'', it is recalled that Heracles had mercilessly slain their king, [[Theiodamas]], over one of the latter's bulls, and made war upon the Dryopes "because they gave no heed to justice in their lives".<ref>Richard Hunter, translator, ''Jason and the Golden Fleece'' (Oxford:Clarendon Press), 1993, pp. 31f.</ref> After the death of their king, the Dryopes gave in and offered him Prince [[Hylas]]. He took the youth on as his weapons bearer. Years later, Heracles and Hylas joined the crew of the ''[[Argo]]''. As Argonauts, they only participated in part of the journey. In [[Mysia]], Hylas was kidnapped by the nymphs of a local spring. Heracles, searched for a long time but Hylas had fallen in love with the nymphs and never showed up again. In other versions, he simply drowned. Either way, the ''Argo'' set sail without them.
