(grins) It certainly does.

Also, about Fluffy, I remembered reading about Orpheus playing his 
lyre. With a song, he managed to pass Cerberus. I can't recall 
exactly from which source I read about that. It was in elementary 
school. The book, which I read, was a text book. The stories in it 
were greek myths, but they were expounded stories. The authors who 
wrote them added details that are not present in original myths.

I remember reading a part where Cerberus, upon hearing the song, 
began remembering about the time when he was a puppy. Started 
dreaming. In any case, he let Orpheus through.

Can anyone confirm this please?
