  From Wikipedia For the butterfly genus, see Iolaus (butterfly). Heracles and his nephew, Iolaus. 1st c. BC mosaic from the Anzio Nymphaeum, Rome In Greek mythology, Iolaus (in Greek, Ἰόλαος) was a Theban divine hero, son of Iphicles, brother of Heracles and Automedusa. He was famed for being Heracles' nephew and for helping with for some of his Labors. Through his daughter Leipephilene he was considered to have fathered the mythic and historic line of the kings of Corinth, ending with Telestes. A species of butterfly has been named after him.

  NYT of Feb 12, 1913 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9402E3D71E3AE633A... indicates that a Greek dancer perfoming under the name Iolaus, was in New York at the time. "Iolaus, a well-formed youth, as could easily be seen, was well-liked in a series of dances..."

  'Freud's N.Y.' presumably identifies the photographer or studio.

  The position of his body expresses mystery and makes me wonder. He causes me to think that he is headed somewhere, but doesn't want to reveal where.

  It would be very interesting to know where in Egypt this picture was made, or what the man's background was.

• it is aai! said:

  The title is: "Derwiche pelerin" so this man is a "traveling sufi man", a "pelgrim derwish".

  well, i don't think he's an egyptian. from his appearance i can tell that he's a Bedouin! it's very obvious 'cause in Egypt men don't wear this kind of outfits specially in the 1800's when it was part of The Ottoman Empire! i guess he's a Bedouin from the Arabian peninsula who traveled to Egypt! that's what i believe! very interesting picture! :)
