The Fifth Head of Cerberus : ウィキペディア英語版 | The Fifth Head of Cerberus
''The Fifth Head of Cerberus'' is the title of both a novella and a single-volume collection of three novellas, written by American science fiction and fantasy author Gene Wolfe, both published in 1972. ==Explanation of the book's title== The title refers to the Cerberus of Greek mythology, the three-headed dog who guarded the gate to Hades, the Greek underworld, a statue of whom stands outside the home of the family in the novel. One of the characters mentions him (''her'') as having had four heads (three actual heads along with her ''maidenhead''); this condition is similar to that of the narrator of the first novella, whose four principal family members are analogous to Cerberus' four heads, while he is the non-existent "fifth head" (and, also, he is known as ''Number 5'').
