Mythoscember Day 10 - Lernean Hydra
Tumblr media
Doing this in acrylic back in 2019 took years off of my life... This was the absolute bane of my existence...
I liked the idea, I hated the execution
But now... Yeah I like this a lot! I could have done more with the fins, but I was just so glad to finally get all those heads right...
Fun fact! Each head has the eye color of the neck of the head next to it! Sure, it makes the purple and blue heads look kinda high, but it makes the red and orange heads look super cool and yes I play favorites
(the middle head is the middle child)

“Ok Lernie, with all of the skulls you keep giving me, I’m sure you’re getting headaches with each one I keep beating. Oh well, all in a run’s work.” - maybe Zagreus 
So this one was made after I got some confidence back, had to take a break from pre-sketching tbh. It was a toss-up between this guy and Cerberus, but in all honesty I think Lerneas is the reason why I got interested in Hades in the first place eheh-- look snakes are cool! I like snakes-

day 10 of horror mythology: lernean hydra
the hydra is a serpentine water monster. in the canonical hydra myth, the monster is killed by heracles as the second of his twelve labors. the hydra was the offspring of typhon and echidna. it had poisonous breath and blood so virulent that even its scent was deadly. the hydra possessed many heads, the exact number of which varies according to the source.

Perseus (the old one): I slayed Medusa.
Theseus: I slayed the Minotaur.
Jason (the old one): I retrieved the Golden Fleece.
Heracles: I strangled the Nemean lion with my bare hands. I killed the Lernean hydra too.

World Travelers Series
Part 5: A World Away
Chapter 2
Fandom: Percy Jackson and the Olympians
Summary: Wedding planning hasn't stopped Percy and Nico from traveling the world. Percy is handling a monster off the coast of Italy when things suddenly get out of hand. Of course, Nico always has Percy's back. This should be easy to handle just as soon as Nico get's Percy out of the local hospital.
Rating: Teen
Characters: Percy Jackson, Nico di Angelo, Giuseppe (OC)
Pairings: Percico
Chapter Preview
“I’ll see if Percy can convince her to stop by.” Nico promises the teenage demigods. “I’m sure she’d be willing to help.”
It’s a relief to be able to make such a statement and mean it. “It looks like Chiron wants to talk to me. Tyler, don’t forget to let Sally know if you’re joining them in Montauk this summer.” 
Tyler confirms that he’ll let her know and Nico makes his way over to Chiron. 
“Mr. Di Angelo, I must say this is quite the unexpected visit.” Chiron says. 
“I was wondering what you know about the Lernean Hydra.” Nico says flatly.

RIP to the Lernean Hydra but I'm built different. I would simply not have let Heracles and his buddy cut my heads off and cauterize the necks. I would have bitten them both and swam away while one died and the other begged for death.

headcanon: Satori is a Hanare Christian (Japanese Christians who went figuratively and literally underground during the Tokugawa shogunate’s prohibition on the religion, then refused to recant their wildly-mutated beliefs and rejoin mainstream Christianity when the ban was lifted). This has lead to some absolutely fascinating theological discussions with Remilia, who is what you might call “anti-Christian,” believing in the existence of the Christian God and broadly in the canon, but standing in opposition to God.
(Unfortunately Chireiden and the SDM are the only two Christian households in all of Gensokyo, so they’re kind of stuck with each other)
This has also resulted in Koishi and Flandre having some incredibly silly discussions, based in half-remembered stories they heard from their respective sisters, about such things as whether or not Jesus was justified in killing the Lernean Hydra before the very eyes of its brother Orochi and whether the lasers he shot out of his stigmata where real light-based lasers or more like energy beams.
(and in Patchouli breaking some kind of world record for aneurysm frequency)

I need to look up how Hercules died bc I cant rember if it was his second or third wife, or how many wives he had, and if the hydra blood had anything to do with the skin melting shirt, or if it was a skin melting shirt or a big bonfire. maybe it was his ex??????? needless to say, I need to refresh my mythology
I don't know if you already looked it up, but for anyone wondering,
Based off the small amount of research I did, Hercules died after being poisoned by the venom of the Lernean Hydra. He was poisoned by his fourth wife Deianira.
At least that's what I found :)

Hang on hold on I feel like I’m pointing at a wall with red string all over the place but hold on. In like. Persep thanat and orfuse. Are they references to the figures of Greek tales? And if so are there others I’ve just straight up missed
UHM.
YES AND NO?
Orfuse Orpheus was a post his existing thing, but it fits nicely!
Thanat and Persep were absolutely named after Thanatos and Persephone
Are(io)s
Lanaen (Lernean Hydra)
Parcae Clotho, Sudice Aporos, and Oirami Lachis sasClotho, Atropos, and Lechesis the three Fates (Moirai)
there are some others but IM IN THE MIDDLE OF WRITING SOMETHING RIGHT NOW!!!
but yeah.... yeah there are references for sure
