Alcestis.

Many times. Euripides play Alcestis shows Herakles wrestling and defeating death, saving the life of Alcestis who was fated to die. The Labour of Herakles where he captured Kerberus (three headed dog) from hell and brings it up to the surface of earth, is thought to symbolise a defeat of death.
