A short story about one of the exploits of Hercules.

The last feat of the great Hercules was the taming of Cerberus. King Eurystheus told Hercules if he could enter the realm of the dead and return back, bringing the three-headed Cerberus. Hercules went to the underworld and uttered the order of King Eurystheus to Hades himself. He replied that he did not mind, but only if Hercules could tame Cerberus with his bare hands. To this the powerful hero agreed. Then he pacified Cerberus with his bare hands and brought him to the king. From which he was horrified and asked to quickly release the evil Cerberus back to the world of the dead.
