The golden apples which were given to Hera by Gaia (Earth) as a wedding gift when she married her brother, Zeus.
The golden apples were in the safekeeping of the Hesperides, i.e. the daughters of Nyx (Night), and the dragon, Ladon, in the far West beyond the Pillars of Herakles (Heracles).
As one of his Twelve Labors, Herakles was required to retrieve the golden apples from the Hesperides and return them to his cousin, Eurystheus.
