Labors of Hercules, Capture Cerberus

Hercules and Cerberus: Hercules grasps the collar of Cerberus while two demons appear at left. The Twelve Labors of Heracles (Hercules) are a series of episodes concerning a penance carried out by the Greek hero Heracles, whose name was later Romanized as Hercules. The establishment of a fixed cycle of twelve labors was attributed by the Greeks to an epic poem, now lost, written by Peisander, dated about 600 BC. After Hercules killed his wife and children, he went to the oracle at Delphi, and prayed to the god Apollo for guidance. Hercules was told to serve the king of Mycenae, Eurystheus, for 12 years. During these 12 years, he is sent to perform twelve difficult feats, called labors. If he succeeded, he would be purified of his sin and, as myth says, he would be granted immortality.
