Pick up one of the reed pipes and then go and find the statue you need. She will be holding a reed pipe. Ask her to teach you a song to play on your reed pipe. She will put you to the test and you will have to do a memory game that is kind of like Simon Says. Once you have done the test, she will give you a pipe tune for you to play later on in the island.

Go to the left until you find Aphrodite and talk to her. She will give you a test to see how smart you are. It’s just a test on Greek Gods.

1) ARES.

2) HERMES.

3) APHRODITE.

4) ARTEMIS.

5) HESTIA.

6. When you have finished the test, she will give you a touch screen mirror which makes life a little bit more easier, shall we say? Go to the left and dive into the water. You’ll have to go through the underwater maze. Do collect bubbles along the way for more oxygen because if you run out of oxygen, then you have to go right back to the start.

7. You should eventually end up at the entrance of a cave. Enter it and go fight the Hydra. You will be faced with an ugly and quite scary looking creature with five heads. You have to wait and then jump on one of the Hydra’s heads to knock it out. Try and time your jumps for when the Hydra is about to strike.

8. Click on the Hydra, now knocked out, and you will obtain a Hydra’s scale. Now, go back to the Underwater Maze and you should find near the cave, a huge clam which opens and closes its mouth which has a pearl in it. Wait for the clam to open and just swim in to snatch the pearl.

The riddle tells you to take six bones away but still leave ten. To do so, just remove six of the bones so the bones spell out the word TEN.

12. The pillar will rise up and you can go down the chain. Go through the maze until you reach the big poster of the Minotaur with holes on them. You have to click on the RED EYED SNAKE three times for you to progress. This one will take you some time.

13. The easiest thing to do is to choose a hole and click when the red swirly eyed snake comes up. Once you’ve done that, go through the exit. You’ll be with the Minotaur. Talk to him and select the second option. He will give you the ring.

14. Head over to the Grove of Temples again. Go to Hades temple and go inside. Use the pomegranates as an offering and enter through the door. Now jump down, down, down into deep dark.

Once the Cerberus falls asleep, click on it to receive a whisker and go back on the boat.

16. Go to the Tree of Immortality. There, Athena will be waiting for you and she’ll tell you to look closely at the five objects you collected. Apparently, they are dangerous!

There will be a stone blocking your way to Poseidon’s throne room.

18. Hercules will stamp his foot onto the stone and it will fall off. Enter the throne room and ask Poseidon for his help. He will give you his trident. Go back to the underwater maze and speak to Hercules again. Teleport yourself using the mirror, select Hades’ Realm.

19. Click on the stone blocking the entrance to Hades’ throne room, and Hercules will push it away for you with his ‘mighty muscles’. Go inside and ask Hades for his help. He will give you his crown. Teleport yourself back to mainland and you’ll end up outside the gates. It’s locked and that’s one hefty padlock. Hercules will smash through it and you can go inside.

21. Get ready for the big one! Inside the throne room, walk to the right and light up all four statues of Zeus. You now have to battle Zeus!

• Do not touch him, he will hurt you in a way if you do.
• If he throws his mini clouds, fly around the screen.
• If he throws his lightning bolts, dodge past them
• Collect pink clouds to regain energy
• Shoot, shoot, shoot! (apart from when he has the electrifying power on him)

When you have defeated Zeus, Athena will reward you with your medallion and 100 credits.

Congratulations! You have successfully completed Poptropica Mythology Island.

Beware of the dog. He guards the entrance to the Greek Underworld and no-one can enter or leave without getting past him. Not that many particularly wish to enter the land of the dead.

Another Typhon and Echidna production (like his brother Orthrus), Cerberus belongs to Hades and has the disposition of a pit-bull rottweiler in a butcher’s shop. Eyes: clear, bright and vicious. Tongue: a healthy red and very slobbery. Claws: highly polished. Coat: sleek, glossy and reptilian. Tail: poisoned and barbarous. Teeth: er, let’s not go into too much detail here.

Only Heracles ever managed to take the Hell Hound for walkies. In fact only three other beings who weren’t dead managed to get past him at all. Psyche charmed him with her beauty and a doggie choc. The Sibyl of Cumae gave him a cake containing a funny substance, and Orpheus lulled him to sleep with his lyre.

Episode 12: The Capture of Cerberus

From the Hesperides to Hades, and for his final mission Heracles was told to bring back the Hound of Hell — alive!

To avoid any long stay complications, which is always a hazard with Underworld visits, first he went through a lot of purification rituals. Then Athena and Hermes guided him as far as the River Styx. When he saw monsters like Medusa on the other side he had to be restrained from shooting arrows at them. “They are only phantoms now,” Hermes informed him, “you can’t harm them, or they you.” So they indulged in some friendly chit-chat instead.

Charon the boatman took one terrified look at Heracles and decided not to argue the toss. He even waived his usual fee as he ferried him over in a frenzy of fear.

Once across, Heracles strode to the Gates of Tartarus and found various old friends trussed up in acute discomfort. His attempts to free them were not too successful, but he did manage to roll a rock of Ascalaphus. Spotting a herd of cattle, he thought a sacrifice to gratify the ghosts might be a good thing. A hellish herdsman was not too happy about this, and a wrestling match ensued.

Herc was just about to crush the ribs of the herdsman when Persephone appeared. She pleaded for the life of her servant. “Only in return for Cerberus,” demanded our Hero. Hades, attracted by the rumpus, appeared in a pleasantly compliant mood. “Be my guest. Take our dog for a walk by all means, only you must not use any weapons against him.”

Chained to the gates was the object of the quest. Cerberus, Hell’s own watchdog. Having his protective lionskin courtesy of the Nemean Lion, Heracles had no trouble taking the dog in hand. Or rather both hands. He squeezed its three necks until it stopped slavering poison and lashing its tail, and became meekly compliant.

With the dog on a chain it was back to the upper-world at a furious pace. Cerberus, never having seen daylight before, was violently sick. From his black bile grew the first Aconite plant. On arrival at Mycenae, King Eurystheus was, as usual, terrified. Even though he was in the midst of a feast, he turned and fled.

The Labors were well and truly at an end. Nobody wanted Cerberus so Heracles let it go. It ran whining all the way back to Hell, only stopping for a pee now and then, creating barren patches on which nothing will ever grow.

To see what happened after the Labors, return to the entry on Heracles...
