Cerberus, as well as being used as a object of a prepositional phrase/idiom, it is also the Greek 3 headed guard dog for Hades, the Lord of the Dead and of the Underworld.
He is usually shackled by a massive amount of chain, with his job being in charge of scaring off would-be thieves and vandals, though it is mysterious if he ever catches a passerby for dinner or not, or even if hades feeds him, if he even needs to eat.
The name cerberus, or at least the idea of cerberus, has appeared many times in the Final Fantasy video game series, once as a summon, I believe, though he also made an appearance in the Harry Potter series too, as I believe that he was the giant's pet.
