The Cattle of Geryon was the livestock of the Giant Geryon in Erytheia in Greek mythology.
History[edit | edit source]
Guarded by the two-headed dog Orthos and the herdsman Eurytion, the obtaining the cattle of Geryon was the tenth task King Eurystheas of Mycenae set for his cousin Herakles during the latter's twelve years of servitude.[1] Herakles succeeded in this by first killing Orthos and Eurytion, and then Geryon himself. Afterwards, Eurysthaes sacrificed the cows to the Greek goddess Hera.[1]
