Friends who often watch anime or play games must be familiar with creatures like "Hellhound". They have three heads and have great combat power. If you see them once, you will definitely be impressed. However, there may not be many players talking about the origin and background of the Hell Three-Headed Dog. Let’s take a look at it in this issue!
Hell is the ultimate place to punish evil people in myths and warn mortals in the world not to do evil. It has greatly exaggerated the field of literature and art. The most famous of them is " Divine Comedy " written by Dante . Among them, the description of "Hell Chapter" is very terrifying, which leads many readers to fear that they will go to hell after seeing this book.
In addition to literary works, there is also a gatekeeper in the hell of mythology, which is the "Hellhound".
Hellhound first originated from the ancient legend of Romanian and existed as the watchdog of hell. They like to wander among the cemeteries late at night and look for fresh corpses that have just been buried. Legend has it that if people see the Hellhound three times, they will die immediately.
The reason why the hellhound is well known to the public is that at that time, the Black Death broke out in Europe, and many religious elements took advantage of the chaos to spread rumors, saying that the hellhound came to the world to spread the Black Death ill to those who were unfaithful. Because this story is so true that there are still rumors about Hellhounds today.
In the mythical description, the hellhound has bright red eyes and is several times larger than that of a normal hound. Because they come from hell, they are filled with a strong smell of sulfur and are accompanied by sulfuric acid on their hair. Hellhounds have appeared in many myths and legends, but each version has a different shape.
has a hellhound with one head, a hellhound with four eyes, and the most well-known three-headed hellhound.
In the Ancient Greek mythology, the hellhound was born by the god of war Tifeng and the half-human and half-snake Erkedena. It is said that this hellhound has as many as 50 heads.
But later, under the processing of literature and art, only three were retained in the end, which became what people see today. The reason only three were retained was mainly because the 50-head sculpture could not be completed at that time, and the three not only highlighted the horror of the Hellhound, but also made the carving process relatively simple.
Hellhounds are different from other monsters in that they like sweets very much. People who die can use sweets to bribe them to relieve their pain. This myth was very famous in ancient Greece, which led to the fact that after people died, they would place honey and cakes in the funeral objects to please them without more torture.
Hellhound is not only an evil thing in mythology, it is more like a creature that can play a balanced role. They will prevent living people from mistakenly entering hell, and for those who want to escape, they will arrest them with their claws and fangs. This seems to have many similarities with the black and white impermanence in the underworld of our China.
In Nordic mythology, the Hellhound is a four-eyed hunting dog named Galm. They have blood-red eyes and cruel personality, and are covered with blood all over their bodies. It is a giant dog that Hela carries over the gate of Hell. Galm is the second largest demon dog except the giant wolf Fenrir, and has an extremely powerful combat power. After the twilight of the gods, he fought with the war god Tyr and died with him at the last critical moment.
Hellhounds appear in many games, and the more famous ones include "Devil May Cry 5", "Heroes Invincible", "World of Warcraft", "Dragon Valley", "Dungeon and Warriors", "Beast Warriors", etc.
From the perspective of the image in the game, most of them use the three-headed hellhound in ancient Greek mythology. In Conan Doyle 's novel " Sherlock Holmes Detective ", "Baskerville's Hound" adopts a hellhound in Norse mythology.
also has Hellhounds in "Naruto". They exist as summoning objects of Payne , and their combat power is a blast in psychic beast .
