| Westwards I set my sails
|
| To the land of Tartessos
|
| The land of a fearsome giant
|
| A monster with three human faces
|
| One body, three heads
|
| And three sets of limbs
|
| On the island of Erytheia
|
| This herder of magnificent cattle
|
| Guarded by a snake-tailed two-headed dog
|
| Together with Eurytion
|
| Mortal son of «The Red One»
|
| Son of the daughters and nymphs
|
| Slave of this monstrosity
|
| Misled by Poseidon
|
| God of the oceans
|
| Setting foot on the southern wastelands
|
| No food, no food, no water in this dehydrated land
|
| I shot an arrow at the golden sun
|
| Helios, god of sun
|
| Lend to me your chariot of gold
|
| I will fly it to Geryon
|
| To obtain his cattle
|
| And bring it to Tiryns
|
| To my archfiend Eurystheus
|
| Hiding for my arrival
|
| Deep down in the ground
|
| As soon as I reached Erytheia
|
| I was confronted with the two-headed dog
|
| Sibling of the guard of Tartarus
|
| I put it down with one single blow
|
| The herdsman of the cattle of Geryon
|
| Came to Orthrus assistance
|
| This hesperid-mother's son
|
| Killed by my strength
|
| Wearing his triple armour suit
|
| With shields, spears and helmets
|
| Geryon sprang into action
|
| Awoken from their screams and deadly cries
|
| Geryon chased me throughout his domain
|
| To the river of Anthemus
|
| I ambushed this monstrosity
|
| This three-headed giant
|
| And shot an arrow between his eyes
|
| Arrow with the blood of the Hydra forcefully shot
|
| I pierced his mortal skull
|
| Traveling back,
|
| Passing the Aventine hill
|
| Cattle stolen by the fire-breathing son
|
| Betrayed by his sister,
|
| Killed with my club
|
| Getting back safe with the cattle
|
| In my beloved homeland |
