When Jason reached the Golden Fleece, the Hydra emerged to attack him. In the serpent’s twin tails, Acastus had been captured while trying to steal the fleece for himself.

As the Hydra closed in again, he thrust his sharp sword into its chest, sending the seven-headed beast to its grave! While the vicious Hydra was defeated, King Aeëtes was far from finished with it. Collecting the serpent’s teeth, he vowed revenge on those that now stole the Golden Fleece.
