Heracles preparing to cut off one of the seven Lernean Hydra's bearded snake heads with his sickle-sword (The Second Labour); Heracles' charioteer, lover and genetically "half"-nephew Iolaos (son of Iphicles, son of Alcmene and her human husband, Theban general Amphitryon, and heteropaternally superfecundated half maternal twin brother of Heracles, son of Zeus) cauterizing the stumps of the severed Hydra's heads with two flaming torches to prevent them from growing again. |
