The Hesperides (Ἑσπερίδες meaning ‘Daughters of the Evening’) were the goddess nymphs of evening and the golden light of sunsets Greek mythology. It was thought that there were three Hesperides, although some sources name four or seven. They were responsible for taking care of a garden in the western end of the world, near the Atlas mountains in Africa. The so called ‘Garden of the Hesperides’ belonged to the goddess Hera (queen of the gods), in which there was a grove of apple trees that bore golden apples. The golden apples were believed to give immortality to anyone who consumed them. Not trusting The Hesperides to guard the apple trees on their own, Hera placed a hundred headed dragon named Ladon in the grove to always keep watch. (Elie Saab Spring 2017 Haute Couture Collection)
