2. Hercules and the Hydra
Labor: To kill the Hydra, a nine-headed poisonous serpent, which grew two heads for every one that was cut off
Hercules and Ioluas attacked the hydra with flaming arrows. As Hercules chopped off each head, Ioluas torched the neck to prevent a new growth. He then buried the monster and covered it with a heavy rock.
