Yeah, right David, old meannie! back at you!!! Grrrrrr...
You don't deserve it -talking the way you do about my poor Herc- but hey, we have a forgiving heart, so, here is a link to explain why you thought the Hydra labor didn't count.
Good shot; (CB grumpily admits!)

Its not one of the best ones but it tells a good story. Just don't pay too much attention to the proper names (of cities, people ) used because they ..er.. kinda mush them/ kill them ... so to speak?

Re: How much do you know?
b) A mortal woman transformed into a Gorgon
although i thought she was some sort of goddess, or had a link to one, but was then turned into a gorgan,
i think she had 2 sisters and they were incredably beautifull, and a godess got jelouse and turned them into gorgans, or something like that...
if you looked at her you turned to stone, but she was eventually killed by some guy who used a mirror that was so shiny it was like a mirror,
ive heard to stories of her death, one where the guy used the mirror to look at her, since her reflection didnt do any harm, and then cut her head off using the mirror as a guid,
also another one is where he used the mirror to show her her own reflection, which turned her into stone, thus killing her.
also i heard one which is a mix, so i dunno which is right....
