		As Chapter 1 ("Justice") begins, Geryon is five, being shepherded to kindergarten by his irritable older brother.
		In a 1986 scholarly study, Eros the Bittersweet (recently reissued by Dalkey Archives), Carson described and analyzed the force fields of eros in ancient Greek writing; desire was something with the immediacy of a violence, unsurprisingly a god.
		Geryon watches him bend situations with his bare hands, and eros moves toward different confusions.

		The trio acknowledged their extreme differences in terms of musical preferences, and decided the band that they were in the process of forming would set no boundaries, and strive to be as original and unique as possible.
		He found this to be true upon visiting the man's profile, messaged him, and a week later, Marat Hafizov was demonstrating his classic rock style of drumming in Sean's garage, hence adding to the band's originality.
		The style of music that Geryon plays is described as a modernized style of thrash metal with traits of death metal, that encompasses a series of progressive and melodic interludes, giving way to comparisons of Death, Lamb of God, Mastodon, Morbid Angel, and Arsis.

	Books: It's Not Easy Being Red (The Boston Phoenix . 06-29-98)
		Geryon lives on an unspecified island with his affectionate but ineffectual mother, his inattentive, athletic father, and his oppressive older brother.
		Geryon, who consciously identifies with the Geryon of Greek mythology (a monster slain by Herakles), has a completely red body, with wings growing from his back -- like the monster.
		His wings are real, not merely psychological (on Geryon's first day at school, his mother "neatened his little red wings and pushed him/out the door"), yet they play no role in the plot until the end, and even then their function is oblique and unconvincing.
