Hercules and the Hydra
A 17-month-old Brazilian toddler killed a venomous
snake that slithered near him, according to the Gaucha radio station. The young boy, named Lorenzo, might just be a
real-life Hercules after biting a venomous viper to death. The killer snake approached Lorenzo while he
was playing the back garden of his parents' house in the town of Mostardas in
Rio Grande do Sul State in the southern Brazil.
But the snake clearly messed with the wrong guy. The toddler grabbed the
serpent and used the only weapon he had — his sharp baby teeth — to kill the
reptile by biting it to the death. Nov.3 http://www.sott.net/article/306462-Brazilian-baby-boy-bites-venomous-snake-to-death
A chart
for the last quarter Moon of Nov.3, the date of the news, drawn for Mostardas is shown here.
Notice that the luminaries are in aspect to the meridian and the
ascendant implying that the quarter Moon
is significant for the place.
Here the
Moon is conjunct the star sigma Hydra while the Sun is conjunct theta Hercules.
According
to Greek mythology, the second labor of Hercules was to kill the Lernean Hydra.
From the murky waters of the swamps near a place called Lerna, the hydra would
rise up and terrorize the countryside. A monstrous serpent with nine heads, the
hydra attacked with poisonous venom. Nor was this beast easy prey, for one of
the nine heads was immortal and therefore indestructible. Hercules battled the
Hydra and finally killed it. [1]
How strange
that in real life as the quarter Moon moved over these stars, a “living” baby Hercules kills a snake!
