Hercules followed this advice and became master of the river god, although the latter, according to his custom, assumed many different forms. Hercules would not let him go until he had learned in what locality he could find the golden apples of the Hesperides. Informed of this, he went on his way toward Libya and Egypt. Over the latter land ruled Busiris, the son of Neptune and Lysianassa.
He could not think that what he had already done was worthy of so much honour, while there remained any bold or difficult adventure to be undertaken. "Dear maidens," said he, when they paused to take breath, "now that you know my name, will you not tell me how I am to reach the garden of the Hesperides?" "Ah! must you go to soon?" they exclaimed.
Those affirmatives are fat worms for the catching of fish. They are the real pretty fruit of the Hesperides. Personally, you or I may be irritated by them: but I'm not sure they don't please us. Were Carlo a woman, of course he should learn to say no; as he will now if I ask him, Is she in sight?
In the distance they are kind of silvery no they are dim silver; and way off on the skyline are the Islands of the of the Now what the devil was them, were those, islands in the mythology book in high school? Of the Blessed? Great snakes' boots, you're an ignorant cat, Vere! Hesperyds? No! Hesperides! Yea, bo'! Now that man in the hotel: 'May I trouble you for the train guide?
"The Garden of Hesperides and the Golden Apples!" exclaimed Miss Dorothy, settling down into the crotch and giving Marian a hand to help her to a seat by her side. "Isn't this too lovely for anything? It will be the finest place in the world to come and read fairy-tales. Do you know many? I have brought a lot with me, and we'll have a lovely time here before it gets too cold to stay out."
Oh, I know, I asked for it. It's like the garden of the Hesperides, isn't it?" "Very like it," said Ste. Marie, "because there are oranges groves of them. Emperors and kings die, wars come and go, but they hear only a little faint echo of it all, long afterward, and even that doesn't interest them." "I know," she said. "I understand. Didn't you know I'd understand?" "Yes," said he, nodding.
"We had already guessed it," replied the maidens; "for your wonderful deeds are known all over the world. We do not think it strange, any longer, that you should set out in quest of the golden apples of the Hesperides. Come, sisters, let us crown the hero with flowers!"
The oxen were guarded by the giant Eurytion and his two-headed dog, but Hercules killed the giant and his dog and brought away the oxen in safety to Eurystheus. The most difficult labor of all was bringing the golden apples of the Hesperides, for Hercules did not know where to find them.
Long did he search, but he found no one who could tell him where the garden was. And at last he went to Chiron on the Mountain Pelion, and Chiron told Heracles what journey he would have to make to come to the Hesperides, the Daughters of the Evening Land. Far did Heracles journey; weary he was when he came to where Atlas stood, bearing the sky upon his weary shoulders.
These Hesperides were none other than the three daughters of Atlas, and it was their duty, in which they were helped by a dragon, to guard the golden apples. Hercules killed the dragon and carried off the apples, but they were afterwards restored to their place by Minerva. Cerberus, as perhaps you know, was the triple-headed dog that guarded the entrance to the nether world.
