77. S13E2: When Lies Grow New Heads: The Hydra and the Power of Rumour

In The Lernean Hydra, Agatha Christie transforms a many-headed monster into something far more familiar: gossip. As rumours spread through a small village and an innocent woman becomes the target of suspicion, Poirot traces the accusations back to their source. This episode explores the destructive power of words, the danger of mistaking repetition for truth, and Poirot’s belief that justice must always begin with evidence.
