 * __Hydra__**

​

The Hydra lived in swampy places closed to the city of Lerna in Argolis. The Hydra had heads that would keep growing and had the terriflying body of a serpant. One of the heads couldn't be defeated by any so called weapon back then. If the other heads were cut off, then other ones would grow back right after it. The ugly smell from the breath of the beast would kill any other beast or man. When it was hungry it would tair anything in its way or at the village. It took over the village for many of ages.

After Hercules heard about the beast he had to go do something about it, so him and Iolaus took a trip to kill this harmful beast. When they got to his hind out, they shot arrows of flames at this Hydra to bring him out, he was angry. Hercules attack it with torches but he soon enough found out that the heads of the beast came back. He called his nephew out to help him. When Hercules attacked the beast Iolaus would throw the torch at the beast making the heads of the beast not come back. Both of them soon realized that one head of the ugly thing wouldn't go away. Hercules then stunned the monster and ripped his head off with his on weapon his hands. Then took the head of the beast a buried it in the dirt with a large rock on top of it. After that Hercules took his arrow and placed it in the deadly blood of the Hydra.

Hydra is the the biggest constellation out of the modern constellation. It takes up 1,300 square feet of the sky and reaching over 100 degrees of the sky. The stars are really hard to see in this constellation. Back in the days Hydra was bigger than it is today. The smaller constellations of Corvus and Crater made up Hydra. Sextant was made to smaller the size of Hydra.
