The universal path behind spirituality

Geryon

Geryon (griechisch Γηρυών, also Geryones and Geryoneus) is the son of Chrysaor and the oceanid Kallirrhoë (Hesiod, Theogony 287, Stesichorus Geryoneis Frag, Apollodorus 2.106, Hyginus Pref) and a grandson of Medusa and a nephew of Pegasus.

Geryon is often portrayed with three swords and shields and sometimes also winged.

Geryon lived on the island Erytheia ('Redland', Land of the  Afterglow ) .

His herd of red bulls was guarded by the shepherd Eurytion and the two-headed dog Orthos ('dawn'), a brother of Kerberos (or also guarded of Kerberos himself), who was placed in the world by Typhon (Typhoeus).

Gerion is here just a symbol for the Rebis, which has also grown together, 'the red lion' as whom Heracles 'kills' him,
