But when Hercules arrived to the cave and started to cut off Hydra's heads, he could check that when he slashed one, other new two appeared from the bloody neck. Astonished, he flew away. Fortunately a nephew of him, called Iolalus, was over there. He was very intelligent, and he told Hercules that when cutting off heads, it was necessary to burn the wound in order to avoid the raising of new heads.
So both ones, Iolalus and Hercules, returned to the Hydra's cave. There, Hercules started again chopping heads; but this time his nephew cauterized the stumps. Hydra didn't raise new heads, and so Hercules could finish his task, killing the hideous animal.
