Trivia

• Eraklyon is derived from the Ancient Greek word "Herakleion," meaning "Of Herakles." Herakles is the Greek counterpart to the Roman hero Hercules.
  • The origins of the realm's name fits in well to the warrior theme it seems to maintain as Sky, its crown prince, acts as the main hero out of his squad of Specialists.
  • The Capital of Crete is also named Heraklion (alternatively spelled as "Iraklion").
• Following the canon established in the comics, it is made clear that multiple kingdoms do exist on the planet of Eraklyon due to the existence of Karunda and the kingdom that Diaspro reigns over as queen. The Kingdom of Eraklyon seems to be recognized as the primary one.
• Eraklyon is one of the planets that kept its original name in the 4Kids dub; the others being Solaria, Linphea, and Magix.
• Eraklyon seems to have more land mass than water.
• Despite having been formally crowned in The Secret of the Lost Kingdom, Sky is reverted back to being a crown prince from Season 5 onwards. Likewise, Erendor acts as king again rather than being King Father, as he was when he abdicated the throne to his son.
• Eraklyon is featured in Fate: The Winx Saga. It is a continent located on the same planet as Solaria, to which it is connected by an isthmus.
