Who was the woman who agreed to sacrifice her own life to save her husband but was later saved by Hercules in Greek mythology?
This might be a take on the legend or myth of Damon and Pythias. Pythias could have been a woman. I always thought they were two inseparable friends who may have been fellow soldiers, knights, adventurers. One agreed to take the death sentence for the other, and the King dropped the charges and let them go. Such things only happen in stories. Usually it is the man who does the daredevil stuff for the Lady in distress, but this is a switch. You did not mention movies, so I don"t think this is a movie plot.

The final labor of Heracles was to bring Kerberos (Cerberus), the guard of the underworld, to the court of Eurystheus. Smartly, Heracles asked Hades for permission to remove the guard from his post, to which Hades agreed, on the condition Heracles used no weapons. Heracles overpowered the beast, slung him over his shoulder and dragged him from the underworld. Eurystheus was so afraid that he jumped into a jar and stayed there until Heracles removed the beast.
