Eurystheus was king of Tiryns.
King Eurystheus and Hercules were related because.... Hercules was King Erytheus Eurystheus nephew. Thx for reading!
Yes. Eurystheus and Hercules are 2nd cousins once removed.
Hercules' cousin, Eurystheus, was the king of Mycenae at the time Hercules was doing his labors. It was Eurystheus who sent Hercules on the labors.
He finished the tasks even though Eurystheus thought he couldn't.
Tiryns
Eurystheus refuses to kill the monsters himself because he is afraid of their strength and power. Instead, he sends Heracles to complete the tasks as part of his Twelve Labors. Eurystheus believes that the tasks are impossible and hopes that Heracles will fail and be killed in the process.
Yes, he was.

He gave Heracles his Twelve Labours.
king Eurystheus of Mycenae
Eurystheus, the king of Tiryns, wants Hercules to become famous primarily to prove his own superiority and to undermine Hercules' reputation. By assigning Hercules seemingly impossible tasks, known as the Twelve Labors, Eurystheus aims to demonstrate that he controls the mightiest hero and can dictate his fate. If Hercules succeeds, it enhances his fame, but it also reflects back on Eurystheus as the one who set the challenges. Ultimately, Eurystheus seeks to establish his own legacy while using Hercules as a means to that end.
