Cerberus, Three headed hound of HellGreek mythology tells us that Cerberus was a three-headed, dragon-tailed dog that guarded the entrance to the lower world, or Hades. Cerberus was generally known to possess 3 heads, although some claim he had hundreds. The middle one was that of a lion, while on one side was the head of a dog, and on the other side that of a wolf. He was said to haunt the battlefields in the night, feasting on the bodies of the fallen soldiers. Cerberus had equally horrendous parents. His father was Typhon, an immense dragon-like monster. His mother Echidna had the head and upper torso of a beautiful woman, while the lower part of her body was that of a serpent. She lived in a cave where she ate men raw. With her husband Typhon she produced a monstrous family which included the Hydra, the Chimaera, Orthrus, and, some say, the Sphinx. Cerberus, the watchdog of hell, lay chained to the gates of Acheron, fawning on the spirits entering Hades and consuming those who attempted to escape. Only a few heroes ever successfully overcame Cerberus. The great musician Orpheus charmed him with his lyre, and the last and most difficult labor of the Greek hero Hercules was to bring Cerberus up from Hades. Hercules applied a swift strangle-hold to the monster's throat. Cerberus soon choked and yielded.
