Hydra Drawing

Caricature of a hydra from Greek Mythology. Unlike the historical hydra with only 9 heads, the artist has depicted his hydra as having at least 1,000. A beautiful woman attempts to sooth this savage beast with her song but the author muses that she will most surely meet with a gruesome fate. As far as mythological images go, this one may not be fully accurate in its depiction; it certain is an interesting drawing worthy of being included on Reusable Art.

Artist: Oliver Herford (1863-1935)

Image Appears In: The Mythological Zoo

Date Image Published: 1912
