For every head cut off, the hydra gows two more. To counteract this, Heracles burned each stump of a head.

Metic, Slaves, citizens sometimes, women.
A strong woman warrior from a race of female warriors in greek mythology?
An Amazon. It's hard to tell if you are looking for a specific person or not, so I'll toss out Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons.
When did the god Apollo exist?
The answer you want will be very hard to find, but I think this is the best one you will get."Death" of ApolloGods you see, are believed to live forever. So, Apollo will always be alive. Apollo can never die. So to answer you, he will always exist. When he was born is partly the same, but it is different."Birth" of ApolloThere is no definite answer of when he was born. But since Greece first established from 1000 to 500 B.C and the Gods were part of there Greek Mythology, Apollo must of been born in that time. This conclusion I came to is not official, but since since the Greeks started to live through that time, it means that Greek Mythology was born in that time. And since the Gods are part of Greek Mythology, this is how i came to my answer.

What is a hidre?
if you mean a hydra a hydra is sort of like the dragons cousin. in Greek mythology (and don't quote me word for word on this) a hydra was represented as a multiheaded serpent. the Greek Demigod Hercules had to fight a hydra once and it was VERY hard, because hydras have a regenerative ability. If you are fighting a hydra say it has...10 heads, you cut one off 2 new ones take its place, lop 3 off you now have a 15 headed hydra on your hands, not good.The way Hercules defeated the hydra was that once he cut one head off he quickly burned the neck of the severed head and NONE regrew in its place. he repeated this prosses until he had all but 1 head off, and here my memory goes fuzzy, which may have been the dominate head or the hydra has another ability, though I'm thinking its the latter, ANY WAY! this one would not STAY DEAD, yes 2 more did not regrow and the body did stop living, he burned it, but the final head of the hydra is immortal even when severed from the body, so Hercules wrapped the head in a cloth and buried it under a rock i think.

What do you do the hydra on mythology island?
Sorry, I don't really understand your question. But, I'm guessing you mean something like what do you do with the Hydra? I think. Well, what you do is you cut off all it's heads and put fire at the base before the heads grow back. It's hard to do, but Hercules did it. Not in the cartoon movie (loved it) but it books and stuff.
