RETRIEVING CERBERUS FROM HELL

A trip to see Hades aye ??? . I must admit this was going to one of the more difficult tasks I've had to complete in my lifetime.  The prospect of never returning from the underworld as a mortal created slight fear within me , something I had never experienced , however I needed to find the courage to complete such a task.

Whilst it is difficult for me to admit , without the help of Hermes and the goddess Athena I would have never succeeded in this task. Firstly I became initiated into the ' Mysteries of Eleusis' which ultimately gave me a guide on how to safely cross to the other world. Whilst on my journey I came across many helpless souls , with that of Meleager particularly touching. His death inspired me ,that I promised to marry his sister Deianeira if I returned back to the land of the living.

After a long journey I finally reached Pluto , the master of Cereberus. He promised that I could take the creature if I overpowered it with my bare hands. Whilst this may have seemed impossible , the strength of the great Herakles was not to be taken for granted . I must admit it was a tough battle with the beast's tongue stinging me numerous amount of times , however I eventually overcame it. I HAD WON , I HAD WON !!!!.

I was overjoyed and via the entrance at Troezen I was able to return back to earth. That fool Eurystheus never dared to confront me for he had known that mission impossible became possible HAHAH

NOTHING IS TOO DIFFICULT FOR THE GREAT HERAKLES
