This baby was the expected child of King Iphicles and Queen Rena of Corinth. Hercules went to visit the pair when Rena was due to give birth to this child.
Background information[]
The ultimate fate of Iphicles' child is unknown. He or she is not mentioned in the next appearance of Iphicles ("Surprise"), nor even in the last appearance of Iphicles after Rena's death ("War Wounds"). It's possible, within the context of the episode "Love Takes a Holiday," that the child was never born.
