Earth to Elysian Fields Emathia to Eretria Erginos to Eulimene Eumaios to Exomis
The home of the three-bodied warrior, Geryon, slain by Herakles (Heracles) in the course of his Tenth Labor (Taking the Cattle of Geryon).
The location of Erytheia is simply given as a land in the far West; on the long journey to Erytheia, Herakles became so weary of the burning heat of Helios (the Sun), he raised his bow and shot an arrow at the burning god; Helios was so amused at Herakles’ impudence that he gave the hero a golden bowl to traverse the western sea.
