Geryon

In Greek mythology, Geryon (; Ancient Greek: Γηρυών, romanized: Gēryṓn, Γηρυόνης, Gēryónēs, or Γηρυονεύς, Gēryoneús, lit. 'the shouter', 'the roarer' or 'one who cries out') was a fearsome giant who dwelt on the island Erytheia of the mythic Hesperides in the far west of the Mediterranean. A more literal-minded later generation of Greeks associated the region with Tartessos in southern Iberia. Geryon was often described as a monster with either three bodies and three heads, three heads and one body, or three bodies and one head. He is commonly accepted as being mostly humanoid, with some distinguishing features (such as wings, or multiple bodies etc.) and in mythology, famed for his cattle. He was the son of Chrysaor and Callirrhoe, the grandson of Medusa and the nephew of Pegasus.
