Hercules II


Here we have Hercules fighting Achelous turned into a huge snake.  I once killed a rattlesnake 
with a rock, but the rock was much larger than this, and the snake much smaller.

  1. Congratulations on killing the rattlesnake with the rock. That must have been an interesting experience. Do tell.

    1. They were everywhere, even in the yard around our house on occasion. I lost track of how many I killed, mostly with a shotgun or garden hoe. My mother had a .410 shotgun just for that purpose. The one with the rock was caught in the open during an early cold snap, and not expecting one to be out, I stepped on it. Ten degrees warmer, and I might have been in trouble.

    2. I once killed a water moccasin with my boots. I went frogging with an in-law. First and only time. It took forever but it had been pissed when I struck it with my bamboo gig pole and came out of the water to get me... That is my story. Had he lived he might have told it differently... but vipers are known liers..

    3. Water moccasins are known for being aggressive.
