Geocache Description:


Welcome to the Florida Finders Fest 2021 Forest Fables geo-art, brought to you by the Forest Minions! These caches are not at their posted coordinates. For the mystery caches, solve the challenging trivia question, to determine the final coordinates. For the Wherigo caches, work through the play anywhere cartridge, to get the final coordinates.

In Greek mythology, Geryon, son of Chrysaor and Callirrhoe, the grandson of Medusa and the nephew of Pegasus, was a fearsome giant who dwelt on the island Erytheia of the mythic Hesperides in the far west of the Mediterranean. A more literal-minded later generation of Greeks associated the region with Tartessos in southern Iberia. Geryon was often described as a monster with human faces.

 

According to Hesiod, Geryon had one body and three heads. In the fullest account in the Bibliotheke of Pseudo-Apollodorus, Heracles was required to travel to Erytheia, in order to obtain the Cattle of Geryon as his tenth labour.

 

Solve this challenging trivia question, to get the final coordinates.
