What is the "hydra"?
The hydra is a mythical creature from Greek mythology, often depicted as a serpent-like monster with multiple heads. According to legend, when one of its heads is cut off, two more grow in its place, making it extremely difficult to defeat. The hydra is best known from the story of Hercules, who had to kill it as one of his Twelve Labors. The creature is usually associated with destruction and chaos, symbolizing an overwhelming threat that seems to multiply when attacked.
