Garden of the Hesperides

The Garden of the Hesperides is Hera's garden in the west, where there is a single tree on which golden apples grow. It is guarded by Ladon, a hundred-headed dragon.
==History==
The apples were planted from the fruit branches that Gaia gave to her as a wedding gift when Hera accepted Zeus. The Hesperides were given the task of tending to the grove, but occasionally plucked from it themselves. Not trusting them, Hera also placed in the garden a never-sleeping, hundred-headed dragon named Ladon as an additional safeguard.
The golden apples were called the "Apples of Immortality", and it was believed that whoever ate of them will become immortal.
Heracles' 11th labor was to retrieve the Golden Apples from The Garden of the Hesperides. First, he flattered the Hesperides, but they didn't give him the apples. Then he found Atlas and convinced him to give him the sky for a little so Atlas went to see his daughters and they gave him a golden apple. Then Atlas gave the apple to Heracles.
Heracles is sent to steal one of the apples in the garden as one of his labors. After Heracles arrives at the Garden, he realizes he could not best the dragon Ladon so he convinces Atlas to pick the apples for him while Heracles held up the sky. Atlas, after picking up the apples realized that he had a chance to escape but Heracles managed to trick Atlas into holding up the sky again while he made his escape. This made Atlas curse at Heracles a lot. Perseus also meets Atlas in his travels. There are many variations of this myth but the most commonly accepted one is that Perseus eventually left after realizing he couldn't best Atlas.
