Description
Cerberus is a monstrous dog that guards the gates of the Underworld, also known as Hades, to prevent the dead from leaving. He's often described as having three heads, but the poet Hesiod from the 7th century BCE said he had 50. Cerberus also has snake heads growing from his back and a serpent's tail. He eats anyone who tries to escape the Underworld and refuses to let living people in, with the exception of a few. However, the mythic hero Orpheus was able to gain entry by charming Cerberus with music. In one of the labors of the warrior Heracles, he was tasked with bringing Cerberus into the land of the living, which he succeeded in doing before returning the dog to Hades.
