“In Greek and Roman mythology, Hades' three headed dog, Cerberus, was a protector of the underworld. He guarded the doors to the underworld so ruthlessly that anyone other than Hades who tried to enter through them was eaten by the dog, and any soul that tried to leave the underworld was consumed or destroyed by the hound as well.”

“Michael Janda has connected the myth of Trita to the scene in the Iliad in which the "three brothers" Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades divide the world between them, receiving the "broad sky", the sea, and the underworld respectively. Janda further connects the myth of Athena being born of the head (i. e. the uppermost part) of Zeus”

“A single religion may have separate deities performing each tasks, as is seen in Greek mythology with Thanatos and Hades. The Greek underworld deity Hades is an especially common target due to Christian theology, in which the term 'Hades' is typically interchangeable with 'death' or 'hell'.”
