Cerberus also known as the “hound of Hades” was the multi-headed dog who guarded the gates of the Underworld, preventing the dead from leaving, and making sure that those who entered never left. Cerberus also refused entrance to living humans, though the mythic hero Orpheus gained passage by charming him with music.
