The ancient myth about Hercules’ expedition to the island of Erythea, his combat with Geryon and setting the Pillars was adopted by the authors of Iberian chronicles from the Middle Ages and the Early Modern period. The paper responds to the question of how the myth was being changed by the authors and what their political or genealogical aim related with the historical period was. The analysis of ancient sources and the comparison with chosen Iberian chronicles proves that the character of Hercules was intentionally adapted for creating old dynastic genealogies, a model of good king or founding myths of Spanish cities (as Cádiz and A Coruña). For similar reasons, Spanish colonial expansion changed also the idea of the Pillars of Hercules which were not perceived as the boundary of the Mediterranean anymore but became a gate to the New World.

La storia delle dodici fatiche di Eracle, come molte altre della mitologia greca, ha subito vari cambiamenti da quando le prime trasmissioni di Esiodo hanno contribuito a consolidare gli elementi essenziali del mito e le sue caratteristiche. Con la traslazione dei miti dallʼIberia caucasica a quella occidentale, sono stati trasferiti anche alcuni luoghi, personaggi ed eventi associati al posto. Sono state ricollocate le Isole Fortunate, il Giardino delle Esperidi, il luogo della decima e dellʼundicesima fatica di Eracle, e sono stati identificati e interpretati lʼorigine e il significato dei pilastri eretti dallʼeroe. Lʼobiettivo di questo articolo è mostrare come uno di questi miti, quello di Eracle e Gerione, sia stato plasmato in epoca classica e successiva. Verrà analizzata la trasformazione di tre elementi di questo mito: la sua collocazione, la figura di Gerione e la descrizione delle fatiche di Ercole.

The story of Herculesʼ achievements, like many others in Greek mythology, has undergone various changes since Hesiodʼs early transmissions helped to consolidate the essential elements of the myth and its characteristics. With the translocation of myths from Caucasian Iberia to Western Iberia, certain places, characters and events associated with the land were also transferred. The Fortunate Islands, the Garden of Hesperides, the place of the 10th and 11th labours of Hercules have been relocated, and the origin and meaning of the pillars set up by the hero have been identified and interpreted. The aim of this article is to show how one of these myths, namely that of Hercules and Geryon, was shaped in the classical and later periods. The transformation of three elements of this myth will be analysed: its location, the figure of Geryon and the description of Herculesʼ achievements.
