The Hydra was a monster from Greek mythology with many snake-like heads. If you cut off one head, two more would grow back. It lived in the Lernaean marshes near Argos. Heracles, a Greek hero, had to defeat the Hydra as one of his twelve challenges. With help from his nephew Iolaus, they found a way to stop new heads from growing by burning the stumps after cutting them off. After beating the Hydra, Heracles used its poisonous blood to make his arrows deadly. #hydra #mythology #snakehead #reelsv
