  2. Cerberus..below is a link to give you the full mythos

  3. the name is Cerberus, the hound of Hades, a monstrous three-headed dog  with a snake for a tail and snakes down his back like a mane, whose analogs in other cultures are hellhounds. In Greek mythology, the three-headed watchdog who guards the entrance to the lower world, the Hades. It is a child of the giant Typhon and Echidna, a monstrous creature herself, being half woman and half snake.

    Originally, the dog was portrayed having fifty or hundred heads but was later pictured with only three heads (and sometimes with the tail of a serpent). Cerberus permitted new spirits to enter the realm of dead, but allowed none of them to leave. Only a few ever managed to sneak past the creature, among which Orpheus, who lulled it to sleep by playing his lyre, and Heracles, who brought it to the land of the living for a while (being the last of his Twelve Labors).

    Other h**l hounds included Orthus, his two-headed brother.

  4. Cerberus.  Cerberus was the guardian of the Greek Underworld, and a faithful servant of Hades (the god who ruled that gloomy realm).  He was represented as a grotesque dog who had three heads all of which snarled at those foolish enough to attempt to leave the Underworld: the dog also had the tail of a serpent.  According to legend, Cerberus was the result of the union of Echidna and Typhon, two beings that are best described as somewhat monstrous themselves.  Additionally, he was the brother to both the Hydra and the Chimera, which further emphasizes his monstrous aspect

    Blessed Be
