CERBERUS
PRONUNCIATION: (SUHR-buhr-uhs)
MEANING: noun: A powerful, hostile guard.
ETYMOLOGY: From Latin, from Greek Kerberos. Earliest documented use: 1386.
NOTES: Cerberus (also Kerberos) was the three-headed dog that guarded the entrance to Hades, the infernal region in classical mythology. Ancient Greeks and Romans used to put a slice of cake in the hands of their dead to help pacify Cerberus on the way. This custom gave rise to the idiom “to give a sop to Cerberus” meaning to give a bribe to quiet a troublesome person.
Cancerbero (from Spanish can: dog) is one of the Spanish terms for a goalkeeper in fútbol (football). Kerberos is the name given to an authentication protocol for computer networks.
