The 12 Lovers of Hercules Chapter 10 Tenth Labor: Obtain the Cattle of Geryon Tenth Lover: Shepherdess In order to get the magnificent red cattle of Geryon, you had to face a slew of formidable enemies. You easily defeated the guard dog, the two-headed monster Orthrus, and the guardsman, the half-god Eurytion, son of Ares. Then you defeated the six-armed, three-headed giant Geryon himself. It seemed that the difficult part of the Labor was over, but then Hera began to meddle. She sent a giant gadfly to bite the cattle and irritate them, and they scattered so badly that it took you a year to catch them all. Now you’ve reached a river, flooded by Hera. Tomorrow you’ll start filling the river with stones to make it shallower. In the meantime, this shepherdess you just met is absolutely cock-crazy and wants to make sure you’re nice and relaxed.
