Hercules and the Hydra

In the misty swamp of Lerna lives the Hydra, a giant water serpent with nine heads and poisonous breath. Every time Hercules takes one head away, two more grow back! With the help of his brave friend Iolaus and a burning torch, Hercules finds a way to defeat it, and learns that good friends make you stronger.
