Orange. The golden fruit of the trees in the Garden of Hesperides. The golden apples, the apples of Hesperides were given to Hera by Gaia, for her marriage to Jupiter. Hera in turn entrusted the golden apples to the nymphs Hesperides and the mythical dragon Ladon, in order to keep them safe.
In Heracles' 11th Labour, is reported that the king of Tiryns, Eurystheus, asked Hercules to hand over the golden apples of Hesperides. After many adventures, Hercules manages to steal three oranges, which he handed over to Eurystheus. Eurystheus donated the golden fruits back to Hercules, and then Hercules donates the fruits to the goddess Athena. Finally, the goddess Athena returns the fruits to the Garden of Gods, since their theft was a profound act.
