continuing the mythology theme...

How and by whom was Hydra killed? This is not a one name answer. There are two slight variations to the myth, I will take either variation.

The two for one offer ran out !

Hmm. I thought it was Hercules / Heracles, who used his shield as a mirror and she turned herself to stone.

Thanks. Post post googling indicates only half educated. And a tiny bit confused between the Hydra and Medusa!

Learena (Thanks Nikos) Hydra was a 9 headed serpent. Medusa had venomous snakes in place of hair.

I think I know this girl!

Hercules killed Hydra I believe. Problem was that when he cut the head off two would grow back so Iolaus helped and would seal up the wound so that nothing could grow back. Hercules then buried the head he cut off.

If you ask the average greek about who cut lernea's head, I believe only a 20% will know. So, congrats to anyone here who at least has a view of greek mythology. We are uneducated here and we should be ashamed.

I loved reading Greek Mythology, my favourite books when young. Unfortunately my memory has now grown old!
