Notes Group E is the name given to a workshop of painters active during the middle of the sixth century B.C. Exekias, the greatest black-figure artist, began among them. Geryon was a three-bodied creature who lived far to the west with his dog and herd of cattle. One of Herakles' labors was to kill Geryon and bring back the cattle.
