Hesiod, though, says that Cerberus had fifty heads and devoured raw flesh. A monster not to be overcome and that may not be described, Cerberus who eats raw flesh, the brazen-voiced hound of Hades, fifty-headed, relentless and strong.
Hesiod, Theogony When he reached the court of Hades, he played his lyre and sang a dirge so moving that even Hades couldn't ignore his feelings of pity. He called the soul of Eurydice forth and revived her, telling Orpheus that both could return to the upper world on the condition that he resist the urge to look at his wife until they were there.
Yet when he reached the opening to the upper world and saw the light of day, Orpheus turned and looked at her face. Eurydice scarcely had time to say farewell; she returned to the underworld and Orpheus lamented his loss thereafter. In the last of Heracles' 12 labors, he was ordered to take Cerberus, the three-headed hound that guarded the underworld. Heracles descended into the underworld to ask permission of Hades. On his way to the throne room, Heracles wrestled with Hades' servant, proving his strength.
While he was there or, possibly, on another occasion, Hercules saw his friend Theseus and observed that he was in need of rescuing. Since Hercules returned to the land of the living immediately after rescuing Theseus, and no other purpose is assigned Hercules' visit at the time, other than borrowing Cerberus, it makes sense to see this as one and the same visit to the Underworld.
The other occasion when Hercules may have descended to the Underworld is the rescue of Alcestis by wrestling her from Thanatos Death.
This rescue may or may not have occurred in the Underworld. Since Thanatos had already taken Alcestis the brave woman who was willing to sacrifice herself so that her husband, Admetus, might live , to me it seems more likely that she was in the land of the dead, and so I take this as a second trip to the Underworld.
However, Thanatos and Alcestis may have been above ground. Actively scan device characteristics for identification. Use precise geolocation data. Select personalised content.
