FAMOUS DOGS SERIES -
In honor of Cleo and Max, our first geocaching hounds made famous in the book "Geocaching around Reno with Team LaughingGravy", we present the Famous Dogs Series.
The Three-headed Dog: The most fearsome dog in Greek mythology is the great three-headed Cerberus. Like many dogs of our own, Cerberus was a watchdog. But what he chose to guard was not something as pleasant as our homes. He watched Hades, and although he allowed many people to enter, he didn’t let anyone leave. He had three heads (sometimes as many as 50 or hundred), and a snake as a tail. Cerberus was the child of Typhon and Echidna, and fulfilled his duty as “Hound of Hades” as faithfully as possible.
Some, however, on entering Hades were able to escape. Orpheus lulled Cerberus to sleep by playing soothing music; Hermes did the same but used water from the Lethe. The most famous of all, however, was Hercules, who did not use such subtle methods. He had been given 12 Labors as penance for a act of terrible violence. The last of these was to capture Cerberus and bring him to the land of the living. Hercules was able to do this by wrestling the dog into submission and dragging him away from Hades. But salvia from Cerberus fell to the ground and produced the first poisonous plants.
