hydra - a lot of heads

Hydra is a myth of ancient Greece. This monster-shaped snake or dragon fruit, which has nine heads. Every one head is cut, then the head will grow / establish two new heads. It is said that Hercules had to defeat the Hydra. Hercules set fire to eight of the nine heads, before burying the head of the latter (the immortal) under a rock.

The Hydra was one of the more terrifying mythical monsters of ancient Greece, the offspring of Echidna (half maiden – half serpent), and Typhon (had 100 heads), according to legend. The Hydra had the body of a serpent and many heads (the number of heads deviates from five up to one hundred there are many versions but generally nine is accepted as standard), and if any of the heads were severed another would grow in its place. And just to make sure that the beast had the full advantage, the stench from the Hydra’s breath was enough to kill man or beast. Talk about wicked morning breath!
