Description


Apophysis2.06 3DHack...no post work on the fractal result ! L'Hydre de Lerne est une créature de la mythologie grecque antique : tuer l'Hydre de Lerne fut un des douze travaux d'Héraclès (Hercule chez les Romains). Cette créature est décrite comme un serpent d'eau à corps de chien possédant plusieurs têtes, dont une immortelle. Ses têtes se régénéraient doublement lorsqu'elles étaient tranchées, et l'haleine soufflée par les multiples gueules exhalait un poison radical, même durant le sommeil de l'animal. L'Hydre fut engendrée par Typhon et Échidna, puis élevée par Héra sous un platane à proximité de la source Amymoné et du lac de Lerne, en Argolide (approximativement face à Nauplie). In Greek mythology, the Lernaean Hydra (Greek: ([Λερναία Ὕδρα] (help·info)) was an ancient nameless serpent-like chthonic water beast that possessed numerous heads— the poets mention more heads than the vase-painters could paint— and poisonous venom comes out of it eyes (Hyginus, 30). The Hydra of Lerna was killed by Heracles as one of his Twelve Labours. Its lair was the lake of Lerna in the Argolid, though archaeology has borne out the myth that the sacred site was older even than the Mycenaean city of Argos, for Lerna was the site of the myth of the Danaids. Beneath the waters was an entrance to the Underworld, and the Hydra was its guardian (Kerenyi 1959, p. 143). The Hydra was the offspring of Typhon and Echidna (Theogony, 313), noisome offspring of the earth goddess, Gaia. It was said to be the sibling of the Nemean Lion, the Chimaera and Cerberus.
