Hylas

Background

Hylas is a Greek. He uses intelligence to solve problems.


During the events of Jason and the Argonauts (1963) played by John Cairney

Hylas arrives at Jason's Olympic Games and challenges Hercules in discus throwing, which Hylas wins by skipping the discus along the water. On the Isle of Bronze, Hylas and Hercules go after a group of goats for food. They find a rectangular building with the name Talos written on it and a large statue on top of it. They enter the building and find it full of treasure. Hercules takes a giant brooch pin, despite the warning of Hylas who reminds him that Jason said not to take anything but food and water. As they leave the building, Talos comes to life and they run away. After the Argo is destroyed by Talos, Hylas helps to try and fight Talos, but is crushed by a falling Talos when he goes to retrieve Hercules' brooch pin.
