Dirce was the daughter of King Menelaus and princess of Cyros. She was an open-minded thinker who became a lawyer and convinced her father that the court system should have advocates for defense. When Iolaus was charged with stealing the Dragon's Eye Ruby, Dirce was appointed his defense attorney. While Hercules was searching for the actual thief (Autolycus), Dirce managed to stall the trial by putting Iolaus through the Erebus Test. Once Autolycus took responsibility for his theft, Iolaus was released and Dirce offered to help her father re-write the laws of Cyros to make them a little more concerned with justice than with tradition (HTLJ "The King of Thieves").
