Garden of the Hesperides

The Hesperides are the daughters of Nyx (Night) who were set to guard the Golden Apples that were a wedding gift to Hera from Gaia (Earth) upon her wedding to Zeus; their names are: Aegle, Eretheis and Hespere.

The Hesperides live in a garden in the far west across the waters of Okeanos (Ocean); the Hesperides guarded the Golden Apples with the help of the dragon, Ladon; the Golden Apples were the object of the Eleventh Labor of Herakles (Heracles).
