| Sumario: | The myth of Herakles and Geryon is important to understand the Greek conception of the Far West. In V and IV century B.C.

In this article, we study this political use of the myth and its implications, analyze its origin in the circle of Cimon of Athens, its influence on the literary representation of the island of Gadeira, and the criticism of its intent implicit in Plato’s Atlantis myth. |
