Hesperide Apple Gold

Hesperides

In Greek mythology, the Hesperides are the nymphs who tend the garden in which grow the trees of Hera which bear golden apples. They were also called the Atlantides from their reputed father, Atlas.

Apple

An apple is the round, edible fruit of an apple tree. Fruit trees of the orchard or domestic apple, the most widely grown in the genus, are cultivated worldwide. The tree originated in Central Asia, where its wild ancestor, Malus sieversii, is still found. Apples have been grown for thousands of years in Eurasia before they were introduced to the American continent by European colonists. Apples have cultural significance in many mythologies and religions.
