Thanatos and Heracles

In the myth of Thanatos and Heracles, the myth starts with Thanatos coming to Alkestis' house to take her soul to the Underworld for judgement. Apollo is there also, as he has saved the life of Admetos, Alkestis' husband, in exchange for his wife's life. Hercles then ventures to the Underworld, to attempt to save Alkestis. Heracles wrestles Thanatos, and succeeds, bringing Alkestis' soul back to her body. When Admetos asks why Alkestis is not speaking, Heracles responds, saying that she will not speak until three mornings later.
