But first, Aeneas and his guide Sibyl have to be ferried by Charon, drug the serpent-dog Cerberus, and maintain a cool dignity as they manage through the many circles of the Underworld.

OMG, I laughed so hard when I saw the action figs for the 1st time - cause the beginning started out so serious, I didn't expect it. Great.
