Mythological creatures have always enchanted and terrified us. If you want to know more about them this is the place where you want to look.
On the left you can see the famous Cerberus of Greek mythology, it is the dog of Hades which guards the door to the underworld. It allows spirits to go in there but allows no spirits to return out of the door of the Erebus(underworld).
The Cerberus is the offspring of Echidna and Typhon two monstrous beings from which most of the Greek monsters came from. Cerberus has three heads and snakes all down his back, also had a snake for a tail, like his sibling the Chimera. It had a brother Orthus which was killed by Greek demi- god and hero Heracles or better known as Hercules. Hercules had his own encounter with the three headed when he was to bring the Hell hound to the living world to complete the last of his Twelve labors.
