After Hercules set Prometheus free, he offered to help Hercules in his quest for the apples. The location of the Garden of the Hesperides was so well hidden that Hercules had to ask Nereus, the Old Man of the Sea, where it was located.

The most famous story involving the golden apples is the one of Hercules ( Herakles) and his twelve labours.
