THE HYDRA OF ANCIENT MYTHOLOGY WAS A CREATURE THAT POSED A FORMIDABLE
THREAT TO THE ORDER OF EURYSTHEUS, THE KING OF TIRYNS AND MYCENAE. INTENDING
TO QUICKLY ESTABLISH ORDER OVER HIS DOMAIN, HE DISPATCHED HERCULES TO
POLICE THE SITUATION. CONFRONTING THE HYDRA, HERCULES DISCOVERED THAT
THE CREATURE WAS HARD TO SILENCE — EACH TIME HERCULES WOULD CRUSH
ONE OF THE HYDRA'S NINE HEADS, TWO WOULD IMMEDIATELY GROW IN THE PLACE
OF THE ONE.
