Geplaatst: za 26 jun , 2004 19:54 Tuin der Hesperiden
When the labours had been performed in eight years and a month, Eurystheus ordered Hercules, as an eleventh labour, to fetch golden apples from the Hesperides, for he did not acknowledge the labour of the cattle of Augeas nor that of the hydra. These apples were not, as some have said, in Libya, but on Atlas among the Hyperboreans.
(Apollodorus)
Early Greek myths tell of a great battle between the young gods and the older ones who had ruled for so very long. The new gods included Zeus and his brothers Poseidon and Hades. Known for its sharp vision and vigilance, Draco, The Dragon was the traditional guardian of temples and treasures as well as the springs of life and immortality. Hera, Queen of the Gods, enlisted the assistance of Draco to serve as protector of the precious golden apples, which she had presented Zeus on the day of their wedding, While performing this task, Draco was tragically slain by The Hero, Hercules, who stole away with the golden apples, which became a symbol of his immortality. Outraged by Hercules' daring accomplishment, Queen Hera rewarded Draco for his faithfulness by lifting him up into the sky to be remembered forever as a constellation and to be seen by all for eternity.
Greece: representation of the vigilant dragon that protected the golden apples of the Hesperides, as well as the dragon who guarded the Golden Fleece in the Garden of Ares.
Te vinden aan de sterrenhemel?: de vier sterren van de Kleine beer of de Ploeg als de Tuin der Hesperiden, het sterrenbeeld Draak spreekt voor zichzelf, alsook het sterrenbeeld Hercules. Dit is de Noordelijke Hemelpool en zeker niet het Westen.

Het is wel zo dat deze plaatsen in de mythologie in het westen moeten liggen. De tuin van Hera ligt erachter, en daarvoor moet je naar het uiterste westen. Heracles komt er ook allemaal langs, als hij de appels wil halen. Maar het is alleen maar een mythe die zegt dat die appels in de richting van de ondergaande zon te vinden zijn. Dus dan moeten al die monsters en reuzen die de tuin bewaken ook wel in het westen te vinden zijn.
