Hydra By Alex Hall

Legend of Hydra There more than one myth about how the Hydra constellation was formed The Hydra was Echidna(half woman, half snake) and Tydon( who is said to have many heads. It is said to have the body of a snake and many heads( varying from five to one hundred, but mainly nine). It lived in Lake Lerna and had breath that could kill a man. Heracles journeyed to this lake with Iolaus, his nephew and charioteer. After luring the monster out he began slicing at its heads, he then realized that when he cut off one another grew in its place.

Legend of Hydra cont. He called to Iolaus and told him to bring the torch. Every time Heracles cut off a head Iolaus cauterized it with the torch. When they got to the last head it could not be destroyed by any weapon, so Heracles crushed it. He then ripped it off and buried it in the ground, placing a boulder on top. In another version of the Hydra legend. In this version Apollo sends his his pet raven down to get a cup of fresh water. When raven arrived he saw a fig tree and decided to wait several days for the fruit to ripen and then eat them. The raven knew that Apollo would be mad, so he took the water-serpent and cup then flew back to Apollo. Apollo did not believe the raven's lie, that the serpent had attacked him causing the delay. Apollo, angry, threw the raven, cup and serpent into the heavens.
