One of the ideas from “The Many-Headed Hydra” was the importance of the mob in the earlier periods prior to the actual revolution. These mobs were composed of those who were considered as outside of the power of the wealthy, however, they were regarded as those with no importance. Mobs were crucial to the effective protests against the Stamp Act, the Townshend Revenue Act, the increased power of the British customs service, the Quartering Act, the Tea Act, the ‘Intolerable Acts’, and therefore in the revolutionary rupture itself. However, they represented an extremist element which was actually in defiance to the powerful (Jefferson, Washington, Hamilton etc.…). Unfortunately we were given in “The Many-Headed Hydra” one of struggles, rebellions

Hercules third task was to capture the sacred pet of the goddess Diana a red deer, or hind, with golden antlers and bronze hooves. Fourth Hercules used a giant net to snare the terrifying, wild boar of Mount Erymanthus.

His seventh task was to go to Crete to capture a rampaging bull that had impregnated the wife of the island’s king.

His final task was to travel to Hades to kidnap Cerberus, the vicious three-headed dog that guarded its gates. Hercules completed all the

It may have become popular because of Disney’s Hercules, but the Hydra is a Greek monster to be feared. The Hydra, or Lernaean Hydra was a giant water snake located in the swamps near Lake Lerna. Any Greek brave enough to face this monster was faced with its poisonous fumes immediately; however, the most challenging aspect of the Hydra was its regenerating heads. Every time a head was cut off the monster two more would grow from the stump; furthermore, one of its heads were immortal and could not die even after being cut off. Eventually, this feared creature was locked in battle with the hero Hercules. Hercules was sent to kill the Hydra as his second labor to Eurystheus; accordingly, he cut off each head and cauterized the stump so no more heads could grow and he buried the immortal head under a large rock. This monster had the fate of a multitude of others and was slain by a beloved Grecian hero.

While extremely talented, Raven can definitely be killed as most people can. Shoot her in a way that she can't heal from and she's dead. Stab her and she can bleed. Her healing factor as advanced as others so it does take her some time to recover from near fatal wounds but not nearly as long as most people and it does cause a strain on her body. She also can't control her morphing ability when she is distracted or in a tremendous amount of pain. Knock her unconscious and her true form will reappear, a form she keeps as hidden as possible.

One of the most interesting qualities of Greek mythology is probably the depiction of monsters in the myths. However, these monsters are not all unique. In fact, they all fall into very distinct categories, making them almost the same. Most monsters in Greek mythology look and act in the same ways. Several monsters from these myths look the same in that they have very similar qualities such as being large, snake or human like. However, they are also very alike in that they behave in very similar ways, from guarding something or roaming freely and causing chaos. Generally, the monsters in Greek mythology follow this outline and are depicted in a way to show these qualities.

To Kill a Mockingbird happens in Alabama, the primary character, a young lady named Jean Louise "Scout" Finch. Her dad, Atticus Finch, is a legal counselor with high good models. Scout, her sibling Jem, and their companion Dill are fascinated by the neighborhood gossipy tidbits around a man named Boo Radley, who lives in their neighborhood yet never goes out. Legend has it that he once wounded his dad in the leg with a couple of scissors, and he is made out to be a sort of beast.

Greek Mythology has influenced many “monsters” we reference in various works of current literature. Anywhere from 3 headed dogs to women with snakes for locks of hair, all of these deformed common things originated from Mythology. Not only do we still reference the monsters themselves in all forms of art today but also we implement the qualities the monsters posses unto characters in our stories.

Iolas, Hercules' nephew, came to his rescue. Hercules would cut off one head and Iolas would sear it with a flame to prevent it from growing back. Hercules buried the head that was supposedly immortal deep beneath a rock.

Did you know that the real reason marijuana was made illegal had nothing to do with it being a violent drug? For example in the 1900’s marijuana was known as the plant called “hemp”. Hemp was used for many different things such as making rope, cloth, twine, paper, and also medical reasons. In the 1930’s the Ford Motor Company operated a successful biomass fuel conversion plant using cellulose at Iron Mountain, Michigan. Due to it being such a resourceful plant, the government knew they would soon be out of many jobs because everyone was turning to the hemp plant for almost everything they used. Although many people believe legalizing marijuana in America is a bad idea due to it being a gateway drug, legalizing marijuana would open up space in prisons, not only save the United States money but also bring in a lot more money as well and the crime rate would decrease to a certain extent.
