Mythical three-headed dog (8)

I believe the answer is:

cerberus

(Other definitions for cerberus that I've seen before include "Mythical three-headed dog that guarded Hades" , "Three-headed watchdog guarding entrance to Hades" , "Three-handed dog guarding Hades" , "Three headed guard dog of Hades" , "Hades gate guardian" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
