Who had 3 bodies joined at the waist?

The giant Geryon had three bodies joined at the waist.


Was Geryon a gorgon in Greek mythology?

No, not a gorgon, but a relation. Hercules had to journey to the end of the world. Eurystheus ordered the hero to bring him the cattle of the monster Geryon. Geryon was the son of Chrysaor and Callirrhoe. Chrysaor had sprung from the body of the Gorgon Medusa after Perseus beheaded her, and Callirrhoe was the daughter of two Titans, Oceanus and Tethys. With such distinguished lineage, it is no surprise that Geryon himself was quite unique. It seems that Geryon had three heads and three sets of legs all joined at the waist. To make it short Geryon was a total different "thing" and Medusa was a gorgon for example but they are close in relation.
