In Greek mythology, the Garden of Hesperides contained trees with golden branches, golden leaves and golden apples, Gaea&#8217;s wedding gift to Hera upon her marriage to Zeus. In the tale of Hercules, his eleventh labor was to retrieve the golden apples and bring them back to the king who had ordered him to complete twelve tasks. He is shown in front of the tree with one of the Hesperides, daughters of Atlas, who guarded the tree along with the dragon Ladon, also depicted here. The next print shows Hercules talking with one of the Hesperides, and taking a golden apple while she sleeps.<\/p>\n<p>Product description continues below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4365,"template":"","meta":{"wds_primary_product_brand":0,"wds_primary_product_cat":0,"footnotes":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[4222],"product_tag":[195,1054,1512,636,1918,2116,2074,1673,2117],"class_list":{"0":"post-4364","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-archive-sold-art-design","7":"product_tag-18th-century","8":"product_tag-art","9":"product_tag-engraving","10":"product_tag-garden","11":"product_tag-hercules","12":"product_tag-hesperides","13":"product_tag-johann","14":"product_tag-print","15":"product_tag-volckamer","16":"post","17":"post-with-thumbnail","18":"post-with-thumbnail-large","20":"first","21":"instock","22":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/4364","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/4364\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29698,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/4364\/revisions\/29698"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4365"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4364"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=4364"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=4364"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.georgeglazer.com\/wpmain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=4364"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
