three-headed dog grew the poisonous plant aconite. It was later used by Medea to prepare poisons. Hercules, having shown the monster to Eurystheus, led Cerberus back to Hades.”
Well, what will I say about this? This is Mara. Why was she depicted differently? I will also share my assumption. In the very earliest times it is mentioned that Cerberus was depicted with two heads. One can suppose that by this they were showing something opposite, like a mirror reflection of something, of reality. Because it really is such a looking-glass, more precisely, some inverted world. And further, it is quite possible, one can also suppose, relying already on all my discoveries from the previous volumes of “Alternative History,” that the three heads are depicted as three false worlds — heaven, earth, and the underworld, only mirrored. That there are such three real worlds, that is, one universe as if good: there is heaven, earth, and the underworld, and here such a heaven, earth, and underworld, but false, opposite. This is how I perceive it. Well, you see, at first there is also such confusion in all these legends and tales: some assert that it was the last labor of Hercules, some assert that it was the penultimate, and the last labor was the golden apples. And I will naturally say so, after all, the underworld and the victory over Cerberus for Hercules — this is the penultimate trial, that is, the last trial — it is the three apples. The three golden apples. I, of course, may still be mistaken, but I already even have an assumption as to what these three golden apples of the Hesperides are.
On May 13, that is, quite recently, I have a dream that I am sleeping, and an earthquake begins. And I simply cover myself with a blanket, cover my head and face, just to somehow hide, so to speak. Well, it is like such a psychological calming. And I understand that I will not run anywhere, I just hid like this, and let it be what it will be. But the house and everything is shaking, something is happening. And at that moment I wake up and understand that it was a dream. But at the same time it shook me so strongly in this dream that when I woke up, my head was spinning and everything was swaying. Well, it seemed to me that everything was swaying, as if I, since I am
