Hydra is the largest constellation in the sky. It is
associated with a serpent, snake, or a dragon. All of which are reserved
for the constellation Draco. It's total length is over 100 degrees.
Despite it's appearance Hydra is not a serpent or a dragon, he is a
multi-headed monster that was killed and taken in the claws of a raven to
Apollo, the god of music. Therefore he was placed in the sky for all to
see.
