Hesperides, garden

In this mountain, my son, I think you have seen the royal gardens of the Hesperides in those gardens the golden and silver roses grow and from there come the purple-coloured apples, the golden and the silver ones, and they bear fruit annually. 

The Hesperides congratulated the new monarchs on their accession and asked for protected in their gardens. The King made them welcome, and countless joyful ambassadors came likewise in their turn. At the same time, the throne had changed imperceptibly into a magnificent bridal bed, over whose canopy hovered the Phoenix with little Fable. Three caryatids of dark porphyry held up the rear, whilst the front was borne on a sphinx of basalt. 

Hercules blade, reddened with the blood of the ferocious hundred-headed Ladon, who coiled around the apple tree, is the necessary key to enter the garden.There the Hesperides, the Three Daughters of the West who really symbolize the great Triple or Mother Goddess, grant him wisdom. 

In the last chapter, we saw that Hercules fought and conquered the dragon at the entrance to the garden of Hesperides. He was then able to enter and find the Apple tree that produced golden apples of felicity.
