“The Ancient Greeks believed that after
death, all souls, whether good or bad, would descend to the
Underworld, the kingdom of Hades, deep in the Earth, and dwell
there for eternity,” Bailey read aloud, his eyes flying across the
page.
“The underworld was guarded from the living
world by Cerberus, an enormous, vicious, three-headed dog with a
dragon for a tail and snake heads lining his back.” Bailey shivered
at the image that popped into his mind, imagining how Hercules
would feel when he saw the beast for the first time, knowing he had
to subdue the animal with nothing but his bare hands.
“It was Hercules’s final task, his final
labor to perform, and it would be the most difficult quest of all.
Hercules knew that once he descended into the underworld, facing
monsters and ghosts, wrestling demons and mythical creatures of
every kind along his way, he might never be able to return to the
land of the living.
“But death did not frighten him. Hercules had
faced death many times, and longed for the day when he too would be
delivered from his endless servitude. So Hercules went, secretly
hoping to see in the Kingdom of Hades, the souls of loved ones he
had lost and now paid penance for.”
