The apples of hesperides (1)-SFTLOH Travel Guide
Hercules was ordered by Eurystheus to retrieve the golden apples from the Garden of Hesperides. The apples were guarded by Ladon, a hundred-headed dragon, and the Hesperides. Hercules journeyed through North Africa and the Middle East defeating opponents along the way. He encountered Prometheus, who was chained to a mountain by Zeus and being attacked by an eagle. After killing the eagle, Prometheus told Hercules how to get the apples. Hercules then picked the apples and returned them uneventfully to Eurystheus, but because the apples belonged to the gods, Hercules had to return them to Athena who took them back to the garden.

He completed twelve difficult labors assigned to him by Eurystheus as penance for killing his family in a fit of madness induced by Hera. These labors included slaying various monsters and beasts. Despite completing the labors, Hercules continued having many adventures and misadventures, battling various giants and beasts and rescuing people. After a life of great endeavors, Hercules finally died, achieved reconciliation with Hera, and was married to Hebe in the heavens.

Heracles, also known as Hercules, was the son of Zeus and Alcmene. Due to a fit of madness induced by Hera, he killed his own children and was exiled. He then consulted the oracle at Delphi, who ordered him to serve King Eurystheus for twelve years and complete twelve tasks. Eurystheus claimed two tasks were failed and assigned two more, making twelve total tasks that Heracles completed to become immortal. Heracles is one of the most famous heroes of antiquity, known for his superhuman strength in completing difficult tasks.
Trojan war
Zeus devised the Trojan War to reduce overpopulation in Greece. The war was sparked when Paris awarded a golden apple to Aphrodite, who then helped Paris kidnap Helen, the beautiful wife of Menelaus. The Greeks banded together led by Agamemnon to retrieve Helen. During the war, Achilles refused to fight after a quarrel with Agamemnon, weakening the Greeks. After his friend Patroclus was killed by Hector, Achilles rejoined the war and killed Hector in revenge. Through trickery involving a large hollow wooden horse, the Greeks were finally able to enter Troy and defeat the Trojans, ending the long war.

The apples of the Hesperides
- 1. The Eleventh Labour of Hercules
- 2. The Hesperides, nymphs daughters of the Titans Atlas, who held the sky and the heart upon his shoulders; were the guardians of a wonderful garden who kept a golden fruit tree who donated immortality.
- 3. ... The tree was the gift that the Earth had given to Hera and Zeus the day of their wedding. Hera gave to the nymphs the task to protect the precius tree and its fruits. Also Ladon, a dragon, had the task to control the guardians of the apples and he did it wrapping around the tree.
- 4. Eight years and one month after performing ten superhuman labours, Hercules was still not off the hook. Eurystheus (the King of Tiryns), demanded two more labours from the hero, since he did not count the hydra or the Augean stables labours as properly done. Then, he ordered to Hercules to bring him the golden apples.
- 5. While Hercules was in Illyria, he seized the sea-god Nereus, who knew the secret location of the garden. Nereus transformed himself into all kinds of shapes,trying to escape, but Hercules held tight and didn't release him until he got the information he needed.
- 6. Continuing on his quest, Hercules was stopped by Antaeus, son of the sea god, Poseidon, who challenged Hercules to fight. Hercules defeated him in a wrestling match, lifting him off the ground and crushing him, because when Antaeus touched the earth he became stronger. This statue represent Hercules holding Antaeus and it was found in the harbour of Catania. Now the sculpture is in a museum in Amsterdam.
- 7. When Hercules arrived at the garden he met Atlas who hated holding up the sky and the earth so much that he agreed to the task of fetching the apples instead of Hercules, who was stuck in Atlas's place, with the weight of the world literally on his shoulders.
- 8. When Atlas returned with the golden apples, he told Hercules to keep holding the heavy load for the rest of time while he would take the apples to Eurystheus. Hercules asked Atlas if he could take it back again, just for a moment, while he put some soft padding on his shoulders. Atlas put the apples on the ground and took the Earth back. So Hercules picked up the apples and quickly ran off, carrying them back to Eurystheus.
