According to the Infancy Gospel of Thomas [1], the 6-year old Jesus was regularly breathing life into clay birds, making people blind and killing other children by will, so it seems reasonable that he may have destroyed the Gate of Hell as well.
Christianity has a lot of fanfiction, and large chunks of it have been merged with the canonical scripture in the popular imagination. Ever noticed how the devil doesn't actually feature in the bible anywhere? Yeah.
Oh there are lots of references to "satan," but what is he? God's opposite number? A fallen angel? A non-fallen, benign angel? Man's own sinful nature? Previously popular pagan entities? It's a long way from the modern theological concept of the devil.
Since then we have post-rationalised all these vague biblical references into one guy with horns and goats feet who hangs out in a lake of fire, but that is a (comparatively) recent idea, as you will find if you examine your own wiki link a little more closely. (BTW the lake of fire barely gets half a sentence either. That's also very much something that came with the "expanded universe" books. Actually they were paintings rather than books, but you can look that up for yourself.)
Wait until you hear about god's first attempt at woman, Eve's predecessor, who went bad! There's a lot of fun stuff that modern christianity has chosen to throw out.
I don't know anything about the Infancy Gospel other than what I just read in that Wikipedia article, but I'm familiar with two old ballads that are right along the same lines:
"Cherry Tree Carol": Joseph is being mean to the pregnant Mary because he's not the father, so Jesus speaks up from the womb and commands a cherry tree to bend over for Mary so she can pluck cherries without reaching. Then Jesus (after being born) prophecies his own death. http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/eng/child/ch054.htm
"Bitter Withy": Three "young lords' sons" won't play ball with little Jesus because he is poor, so he builds a bridge of light and walks it; when they try to follow him they fall and drown. Their mothers complain to Mary, and she spanks him with withy branches. He then curses the tree. http://mainlynorfolk.info/lloyd/songs/thebitterwithy.html
In general the Perseus Project hosted by Tufts holds all the original material, and most translations, from the Classical period one could want. Unfortunately it still seems to be running on the same hardware it was back in 1996 when I was making heavy use of it.
So instead, here is a public domain translation of the relevant section from Strabo's Geography. You're looking for paragraph 14, about halfway down the page:
Edit: according to http://news.discovery.com/history/archaeology/gate-to-hell-f..., it was in the 6th century AD.
