Default Hydra:A Possible Origin

The underwater hatch or outpost that Jack has been entrapped in has recieved the name "The Hydra Station". Hmm Hydra, Hydra is a mythical creature who battled Hercales in a swamp near Lake Lerna.

The Hydra was simular to a snake, and had many heads, it was simular to the beast described in the book of Revelations (But alot smaller..Heh.).

Also Hydra is a name of a Constellation.

Thats just the gist of the Hydra story, if you want to learn the boring specific details of the hydra creature go here:Lernaean Hydra - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Swan, Pearl, Hydra. Inconsistent names and symbols...not all Greek or representative of something. Weird.

I don't understand why they called the button pressing hatch the "Swan". Was there an answer about that one?

I was just about to post that there is a microscopic creature--Hydra that scientists have interest about..!

Also, to answer the Swans question, it is said that in greek Mythology there is Apollo who rode on a swan to a place called Hyperboreans, where he would spend the winter. But it also says that his mother gave him the island, floating, named Delos, which was not a mainland/island/landmass.

It also said that the island was surrounded by swans...
Maybe this Greek Mythology is tied in with the fact that the island is unrecognisable (as BLinus stated: 'only God can see us'). That information is at link below, although MOST people have probably already seeing this...
also, sorry about my poor English grammar
