The Greek myth of Hydra:
According to the most familiar version of the myth, Heracles (or Hercules) found the Hydra in its swamp near Lerna and attacked it with the help of his nephew Iolaus. But each time Heracles cut off one of the monster’s heads, he discovered, to his horror, that several new heads grew back in its place. Eventually he realized that he could prevent the heads from growing back by quickly cauterizing the stumps with fire. Thus, every time Heracles cut off a head, Iolaus scorched it with a torch so that it would not grow back. (Source: Mythopedia)
