Notes from the Oracle: A Percy Jackson and Mythology Podcast
An encounter with a hydra can't bog this chapter down! It's got Monster Donut in it! Percy Jackson and friends finish their escape from the Princess Andromeda, and Connor and Jack are breaking down every detail of the phenomenal character interactions they have along the way and their discussions within the demigod hideout they stop to rest in before the attack from the Hydra. That means that in this week's myth section, we're talking about one of the most memorable multi-headed monster in Greek mythology, the dreaded Hydra. And the wind bag of course! So get yourself a box of donuts and prepare to dive into this delectable chapter.
