The Lernaean Hydra was a gigantic, many-headed snake in the Greek mythology. For every head of the Hydra that was cut off, two more would sprout in its place.
The Hydra lived in the region later known as Wetlands of the Hydra in Argolis. The second of the twelve labours performed by the legendary hero Herakles was the slaying of the Hydra. In this he succeeded with the help of his nephew Iolaos, as they burned each neck he cut before new heads could grow back.[1]
