Summary[]

Iolaus attempts to prove to his uncle that he has what it takes to be a Hunter like him and with Hercules and Jason in tow, he heads out on a deer hunt. When Iolaus goes after the Golden Hind, though, Artemis punishes him by switching his body with that of a deer.

Background Information[]

  • Iolaus is going to leave the academy to be taken under the wing of his Uncle Flatus, a great hunter. While on a hunt with Flatus, Iolaus transgresses against the goddess Artemis and is turned into a stag. He learns how it feels to be hunted, so that when he finds the Golden Hind trapped in a snare, he frees her. Flatus wounds Iolaus-stag. Hercules appeals to Artemis to restore Iolaus, which she does, but it's up to the Golden Hind to deem Iolaus worthy of saving from death. Thanks to this experience, Iolaus decides to stay in the academy rather than taking off with Uncle Flatus.
  • As punishment for going after the Golden Hind (Amber Sainsbury), Artemus turns Iolaus into a deer.

A good deal of the deer hunting footage of the deer itself was reused from X:WP "6.06 - The Abyss".
