	Lernaean Hydra
		In Greek mythology, The Lernaean Hydra was a vicious monster killed by Heracles as one of his Twelve Labors.
		Upon reaching the swamp near Lake Lerna[?], where the Hydra dwelt, Heracles covered his mouth and nose with a cloth to protect himself from the poisonous fumes and fired flaming arrows into its lair to draw it out.
		The term "Hydra" is often used today when referring to a problem that seems to share this sort of characteristic, for example when attempts to suppress a particular piece of information result in it being disseminated even more widely.

	hydra
		Hydra is another constellation having to do with snakes, for the Hydra itself or herself is a water snake, and Hydra is the feminine form of the word (Hydrus the masculine form).
		If she is retained in the Greek versions of Echidna and the Lernean Hydra at all, she has been completely vilified so that the poisonous aspect of her has been exaggerated beyond all proportion, for the Lernea Hydra of the Greeks became an evil, killing monster, and that was all.
		Allen cites another definition of the sky Hydra as the winding course of the moon: "For an unknown period its winding course symbolized that of the moon; hence the latter's nodes are called the Dragon's Head and Tail" (1963 [1899], 249).

		In the stench of the Lernean swamp, Hercules tracks the foul beast to its lair and is forced to resort to firing arrows, dipped in burning pitch, to draw it out into the open.

		The Lernean hydra was a monster with nine heads that ravaged the country of Lernac near Argos, and dwelt in a swamp near the well of Amymone.
		The hydra is the embodiment of evil, Hercules is the impersonation of youth.
		In the old mythologies the heroes of antiquity are represented in perpetual combat; impossible tasks are appointed, impossible actions achieved; to do and to suffer is the aim and object of their life; to win golden fruit, to slay monsters, to cleanse the foul abuses of the past, is the work of the young Hercules.
