Description
The series of the Labors of Hercules is a unique ensemble that is a work from the same workshop where sculptors worked according to common principles from Asia Minor that were diffused in the West.
The challenge that Geryon presents to Hercules leads us to the South of the Iberian Peninsula, in modern-day Andalusia. The hero must bring back from the faraway country the cattle belonging to Geryon, a monster with three heads or three chests who lives on a nearby island.
