Actually that's very interesting because the hydra is a mythological archetype of the problems that arise from an undisciplined approach to life. If you cut off one head of the hydra, two more heads grow back in its place and this is a very clear metaphor for a lazy approach to problem management. Each head is merely one manifestation of a larger problem, and if you simply keep cutting off heads and creating even more of them, then you're just helpless, and that's not virtue. But if you stop fighting the hydra, and instead embrace the hydra, the monster inside you, then that is virtuous. The hydra represents order, and if you read its comic Bibles, then it's very interesting because it keeps telling you that it represents order and yet the imbeciles in the audience keep rooting for the chaos, and they're missing the point. The really virtuous thing to do is to Hail Hydra.
