Hydra

Description

A statue in Vienna, taken on Summer vacation by my dad. It features Hercules killing the hydra (which is dog-faced! Why dog-faced?!)

There were more statures around this one, featuring Hercules's 12 labours (although some weren't, like him saving Prometheus). They were very cool.

BTW, you CAN'T see his nuts! He's dressed with the skin of the Nemean Lion, and that is the lion's paws and fingers that are covering his... stuff. I am NOT putting this as containing mature content.

Haha, true -- you can't see his nuts. :D

It really is a beautiful statue. But I do wish I could explain why the heads of the hydra are dog faces.
