Explanation:
- A multi-headed dog known as Cerberus, also known as the hound of Hades, guards the Underworld's entrances in Greek mythology to keep the dead from departing. He was a hybrid of the creatures Echidna and Typhon and was frequently depicted as having three heads, a tail that resembled a serpent, and snakes sticking out of various places on his body. As the culmination of Heracles' twelve labors, the capture of Cerberus by the hero is what makes him most famous.
- The number of Cerberus' heads has been described in a variety of ways. Though not always, Cerberus has three heads. Cerberus had several relatives with several heads. His father was the multiple-headed snake Typhon, and Cerberus was the brother of three other multi-headed monsters: the Lernaean Hydra, which had multiple snake heads; Orthrus, a two-headed dog that guarded the Geryon Cattle; and the Chimera, which had three heads: a lion, a goat, and a snake. With the rare iconographic exception, Cerberus was also multi-headed.
