Cerberus is a creature from greek mythology. He was a guard dog with three heads, often represented with a snake-shaped tail. Cerberus was the son of Echidna (snake-bodied woman) and Typhon, an evil god who created violent winds. He had a brother, Orthos, a hound with two heads, who guarded Geryon's cattle. Cerberus was the guard dog of Hades' kingdom, which represented hell for the Ancient Greeks. He kept the human spirits from crossing the Styx back to the living world.
