The Hesperides are nymphs associated with a beautiful golden garden containing the famous golden apples.
Ariel I. GaoHOST
And guarding those apples are a dragon or serpent named Ladon.
Ariel I. GaoHOST
Heracles encounters this during his 12 labors.
Ariel I. GaoHOST
And this is a good reminder that Greek mythology doesn't have one official canon.

ErinHOST
I was going to share with you when I was studying about the Draconian meteor shower, it came up that Draco, the constellation, the myth behind it, or I say myth, who knows, right? But that...
ErinHOST
He is actually a dragon named Ladon.
ErinHOST
And he was entrusted by the goddess Hera to guard her 12 golden apples.
ErinHOST
And so he was a trusted guardian of these treasures that belonged to the goddess Hera.
AdamHOST
That was the word I was looking for.
AdamHOST
You also have, uh, Ladon, the 100-headed serpent who never slept.
AdamHOST
And this is a story that I feel like when we were talking about the Heracles, the, the 12 labors, I don't remember which labor this was.
AdamHOST
I wanna say it was somewhere around 10 or 11.
ChrisHOST
Okay.
AdamHOST
That's the Lernaean Hydra that we'll get to.
AdamHOST
So this was Ladon, that was outside guarding the Garden of Hesperides, that was where the golden apples were kept.
ChrisHOST
Mm-hmm.
