Hesperides

The Garden of the Hesperides by Edward Burne-Jones, 1870–73

In Greek mythology, the Hesperides (/hɛˈspɛrɪdiːz/ ⓘ; Ancient Greek: Ἑσπερίδες, Ancient Greek pronunciation: [hesperídes]) are the nymphs who tend the garden in which grow the trees of Hera which bear golden apples. They were also called the Atlantides (Ancient Greek: Ἀτλαντίδες, romanized: Atlantídes) from their reputed father, Atlas.
