I believe it's the Germanic god Woden (Wodan), who was a god of the Anglo-Saxons.

Alternate Answer 3: The reason heracles started using a club. By smashing the heads instead of cutting them off negates the hydras ability to regenerate.

Cutting off the head then burning the wound, rather than cutting off the heads- smash them.

You cut off the head and burn the stump so they can't regenerate, of course that still leaves one head since it's immortal, but the body will be dead

He had 9 heads and one was immortal. He got help from Iolaus to burn off each head with a brand and buried the immortal one under a rock (that was his second labor)I got this answer from reading Edith Hamilton's mythology that I am holding now.Can I take over this quiz if that is all right with you, the quiz starter.
