-Cited as the most dangerous labor
-Cerberus is a 3-headed beast (w/ serpent tail and snake heads on his back) born from Echinda & Typhon that guards the underworld to keep the living out.
Myth:
Before going to the underworld to face Cerberus, Hercules familiarizes himself with the Eleusinian mysteries (which were believed to grant happiness in the underworld to those who knew the mysteries). He then found his way into the underworld through a place called Taenarum in Laconia through a deep, rocky cave. He battled his way through many monsters and ghosts before finding one of the five rivers named Acheron. There he found Cerberus and did not hesitate to place cerberus into submission by grabbing hold of all 3 heads at once. He then throws cerberus over his shoulders Hercules promised Hades that he would not kill cerberus so cerberus could continue being the guardian of the underworld. He brought cerberus up through the underworld back to the surface with the help of Athena and drops cerberus in front of King Eurystheus. The king was so afraid he promised to release Hercules of his labors. Cerberus is then returned to his post.
