from
Wikipedia
In Greek mythology, the Lernaean Hydra () was an ancient nameless serpent-like chthonic water beast, with reptilian traits, ( as its name evinces ) that possessed many heads — the poets mention more heads than the vase-painters could paint, and for each head cut off it grew two more — and poisonous breath so virulent even her tracks were deadly.
Its lair was the lake of Lerna in the Argolid, though archaeology has borne out the myth that the sacred site was older even than the Mycenaean city of Argos since Lerna was the site of the myth of the Danaids.
