Black Hydra
Upon reaching the swamp near Lake Lerna, Heracles covered his mouth and nose with a cloth to protect its poisonous breath and fired flaming arrows into your shelter (Amimone source) to force him out. He then confronted her with a sickle (in some early vase-paintings), Ruck and Staples have pointed out that the chthonic creature's reaction was botanical: upon cutting off each of their heads, Heracles found that two grew back, an expression of the desperation of the struggle for any but the hero.
The details of the confrontation are explicit in Apollodorus: realizing that he could not defeat the Hydra in this way, Heracles called for help from his nephew Iolaus. He had the idea (possibly inspired by Athena) of using a burning cloth to burn the neck stumps after each beheading. Heracles cut off each head and Iolaus burned the open neck, killing the Hydra. Heracles then took his one immortal head and buried under a large rock on the sacred way between Lerna and Elei, dipped his arrows in the Hydra's poisonous blood, and completing her second job.
In an alternative version, Hera sent a crab to bite the feet of Heracles and it bothered him, hoping thus cause his death. Hera set him on the Zodiac to follow the Lion.
When Eurystheus, the king who assigned the work to Heracles, he knew he was his nephew who had given him the torch, said he had not completed the work alone and therefore did not count for the total of ten tasks that had been assigned. The mythic element is an equivocating attempt to resolve the conflict between an ancient ten Labours and the twelve most recent.
