He was stopped by Kyknos, the son of the war god, Ares, who demanded that Hercules fight him. He journeyed through Libya, Egypt, Arabia, and Asia, having adventures along the way. Hercules' first problem was that he didn't know where the garden was. Photograph courtesy of the Trustees of the British Museum, London London E 224, Attic red figure hydria, ca. Here the apples are on a tree, and the dragon Ladon looks more like a single-headed serpent. These apples were kept in a garden at the northern edge of the world, and they were guarded not only by a hundred-headed dragon, named Ladon, but also by the Hesperides, nymphs who were daughters of Atlas, the titan who held the sky and the earth upon his shoulders. Hera, who didn't want to see Hercules succeed, would never permit him to steal one of her prize possessions, would she? Hera had given these apples to Zeus as a wedding gift, so surely this task was impossible. Eurystheus demanded two more labors from the hero, since he did not count the hydra or the Augean stables as properly done.Įurystheus commanded Hercules to bring him golden apples which belonged to Zeus, king of the gods. Poor Hercules! After eight years and one month, after performing ten superhuman labors, he was still not off the hook. Did he leave Zafaria to set up that exchange program? Or did he do that afterwards? SO MANY QUESTIONS! I’d love for Baxby to be involved in more quests so we can learn more about him.Hercules' Eleventh Labor: the Apples of the Hesperides Why did Baxby decide to leave Zafaria?

Ladon never slept, and acted as an extra safeguard for the golden apples.Ĭould the 2 headed dragon in Aquila be Wizard101’s Ladon? It’s possible. Distrusting the Hesperides with such power, Hera placed a hundred headed dragon named Ladon in the garden. These golden apples are very powerful and were believed to grant immortality. In Greek mythology, The Garden of Hesperides belongs to a goddess named Hera, and it contains a grove of apple trees that produce golden apples. Where does that door lead? Who is the dragon guarding it? These are questions that I’d love to know the answers to! Since Aquila is based on Greek mythology, I did some research to find out if a multiple headed dragon was mentioned anywhere. To this day, the door still doesn’t open. The 2 headed dragon in Aquila has been guarding a door since the area’s release. So, I entered deep thought and came up with 2 characters that I truly think we should learn more about.

I mentioned Azteca during KI Live, but I’m really not sure if that’s possible with Azteca getting destroyed and all (those poor dinosaurs).
