The living story
The story so far
The Hydra grew two heads for every one Heracles cut, until Iolaus cauterized the stumps. Heracles buried her immortal head under a rock and poisoned his arrows in her blood — the arrows that later killed him.
Happening now
The swamp at Lerna is quiet, but travelers report ripples with too many heads. The songs say one head survived under its rock, dreaming.
What may come
Her venom killed Heracles via the centaur's bloodied shirt. Poison outlives the poisoned — the Hydra's last laugh is still traveling.
