I've once tried to write a story where Zeus wants to turn Iolaus into a constellation as a reward for being a hero. Hercules opposes the idea vehemently, of course. /g/
I think the Nemean lion was never mentioned explicitly in the series, but in one of the early episodes we do see Hercules wear a huge lion skin - which he then throws off (http://www.rtis.com/nat/user/chimera/Admin/imagesh.cmdx?action=buildURL&name=10), and we find out that he's pretending to be a lion for his children. I thought that was pretty cute. :-)
