“…I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.”
So I didn’t get to burn any stumps today.
Which leads us to the question: How does the hydra’s neck support the two new heads? Obviously, I made the neck thicker, but that doesn’t really make much sense. Do its remarkable regenerative powers eventually allow the neck to split into two? Does one of the heads eventually die?
And if the hydra is capable of rational thought (it might be, this isn’t really explored in the Greek myth, as far as I know), do the new heads retain memories or personalities?
These are the things that I think of while I am personifying the things that keep me up late at night.
