The tale about mythic creature "Hydra" and the ancient democracy
Hydra or giant sea monsters have been one of the most interesting creatures in Ancient Greece. The thing in the tale of Hydra is that the hero, who fought against that creature must cut all the heads off from that monster. So what was this creature? I think that Hydra was the model of pirate organizations or some other threats, that threatened the cities of Ancient Greece.
That means that if the assassinator came from the seas, the king who fought against that kind of organization must terminate all leaders of that organization, or the enemy would return. An idea of that thing is that if the leaders of the enemy would stay alive, those things would create or train new leaders and establish new bases for their gangs or organization.
If the threat came across the sea, that meant that there was some outland enemy, and those things were really serious. Only one leader, who stay alive can train new followers, and that thing could neutralize only by cutting all the heads off the creature, what those men have been ruled. So the monsters in Greek mythology are symbolic creatures.
The mission of those symbols was to create the thought and give abilities to fight and handle that kind of threat. The thing is that those people, who told those stories for the kings and other rulers, avoided mentioning names in those stories because that thing could cause the wrong focus. That means that the persons, who grown and trained the kings must beware of the cases, that they predict that enemy tells the real information about the names, who were behind some attacks.
In ancient Greece, wars were the same time political things than in modern states. And the mission of wars was similar to modern states. The thing is that the wars were used to turn the eyes of the people out of internal problems. And those problems were that the kings and rulers of the state were dictators. We always like things like Greek democracy, that thing was a little bit different than in the modern days.
In the cradle of democracy, Athens the power was in hands of 20 to 30 persons, who ruled the state. Democracy was working that there were two kinds of coupons. The normal coupon, what was used in the advising votes, and the coupon, what was used in the ruling the state. That meant that the one person, who had full citizenship had the right to make a decision alone if there was nobody else in the place.
There was claiming that the death of Socrates caused that the persons, who have ruled Athens just shuffle the coupons or some secret marks. That means that if the marks of release and convict were similar, this thing could mean that somebody has been missed that mark, and Socrates just got that penalty because of a terrifying accident.
Maybe he was the full citizen himself, and the advising jury had no jurisdiction against him, but then there were two other full citizens, and that caused death. There is a possibility that some new full citizens came to the meeting, and that caused a mistake, or those new citizens even knew that they were citizens.
So there were two kinds of meetings, another was advising, and another was ruling. The problem was that the persons, who had the right to rule the state hide that right. They sit in the same meetings with others, and every each member had two coupons, and they were all colorful. But certain colors meant the ruler, and those colors were not the same. So those people were not easy to track.
