Yes. Eurystheus and Hercules are 2nd cousins once removed.
King Eurystheus and Hercules were related because.... Hercules was King Erytheus Eurystheus nephew. Thx for reading!
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.
Eurystheus
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.
