Hesperides
Three Nymphs, daughters of Hesperus. Apollodorus mentions four, Aegle, Erythia, Vesta, and Arethusa. They were appointed to guard the golden apples which Juno gave to Jupiter on the day of their marriage. The place where the Hesperides lived was a celebrated garden, abounding with delicious fruit, and was guarded by a dragon which never slept. It was one of the labors of Hercules to procure some of the golden apples, which he succeeded in doing after slaying the dragon.
Hesperus (The Evening Star). Son of Astraeus and Eos (Aurora), of Cephalus and Eos or of Atlas. He was also regarded as the same as the morning star.
