Dog of Two Head

Product Information

At least as early as the 6th century BC, some ancient writers attempted to explain away various fantastical features of Greek mythology; [143] included in these are various rationalized accounts of the Cerberus story. [144] The earliest such account (late 6th century BC) is that of Hecataeus of Miletus. [145] In his account Cerberus was not a dog at all, but rather simply a large venomous snake, which lived on Tainaron. The serpent was called the "hound of Hades" only because anyone bitten by it died immediately, and it was this snake that Heracles brought to Eurystheus. The geographer Pausanias (who preserves for us Hecataeus' version of the story) points out that, since Homer does not describe Cerberus, Hecataeus' account does not necessarily conflict with Homer, since Homer's "Hound of Hades" may not in fact refer to an actual dog.

Thanks to the team’s wealth of experience, the operation took a mere three and a half hours. After the two-headed dog was resuscitated, both heads could hear, see, smell, and swallow. Although Shavka’s transplanted head could drink, she was not connected to Brodyaga’s stomach. Anything she drank flowed through an external tube and onto the floor.

An etymology given by Servius (the late-fourth-century commentator on Virgil)—but rejected by Ogden—derives Cerberus from the Greek word creoboros meaning "flesh-devouring". [9] Another suggested etymology derives Cerberus from "Ker berethrou", meaning "evil of the pit". [10] Descriptions [ edit ]
