What does "Cerberus" mean?
How is it pronounced? ˈseːrberus; or in Greek:ˈkerberos
KERBEROS (Cerberus) of Greek Mythological origin, was the gigantic, three-headed hound of Hades that was said to have guarded the gates of the underworld.
Cerberus is depicted as a three-headed dog with a serpent's tail, mane of snakes, and a lion's claws.
According to Greek Mythology, Hercules was sent by King Euretheus of Tiryns to bring back Cerberus from Hades, the king of the underworld as the final task of the 12 that were imposed on him.
Kerberos' name perhaps means "Death-Demon of the Dark" from the ancient Greek words kêr and erebos.
