Minotaur The Minotaur has a body of a bull and head of a man. The Minotaur came from the island of Crete. He lived underground in a maze called the Labyrinth.

Minotaur Each year seven boys and seven girl are put into Labyrinth to be eaten by the Minotaur.

Hydra The hydra was a fearsome monster from Greek Mythology. It was a giant snake with nine heads.

Hydra The problem was that if you cut off one head more heads would quickly grow back. The most heads she's ever had was more than nine heads.

Hydra Hercules slew Hydra as one of his Twelve Labors. Each of the Twelve Labors of Hercules is a story and adventure all to itself. The king did not like Hercules and wanted him to fail. Each time he made the tasks more and more difficult.
