Every so often, I find someone asking about the further implications of Greek myth biology. For example, is a centaur's heart in the human half or the equine half, or are there two hearts? More common, unsurprisingly, is the question of how mermaids do you-know-what.

Today I thought of a new one: What if a gorgon made eye contact with exactly one hydra head? Would the entire hydra turn to stone or just the portion controlled by that one brain? Or are hydras specially immune in the first place?

Just because a question has no bearing on reality doesn't mean it's not worth asking for the sake of mental exercise and amusement.
