Hyginus in his preface to the Fabulae names them as Aegle, Hesperie, and Aerica. Apollonius of Rhodes gives the number of three with their names as Aigle, Erytheis, and Hespere (or Hespera). Nevertheless, among the names given to them, though never all at once, there were either three, four, or seven Hesperides.

Orpheus, the gifted bard travelling with Jason and the Argonauts, invoked the Hesperides to win their favour. The Hesperides lamented his death loudly, but as soon as the Argonauts approached, they went silent and vanished in a cloud of dust and earth. There they found the serpent Ladon lying dead from Hercules' attack. They reached the lovely garden of the Hesperides, where the Hesperides used to sing as they guarded the apples. As they entered Lake Triton, they finally placed the ship down and rushed around in a mad thirst, trying to find a spring to drink from. Jason and the Argonauts carried the Argo on their shoulders for twelve days and nights through the deserts of Libya. In Book 4 of the Argonautica by Apollonius of Rhodes, the Greek hero Jason and the Argonauts are assisted in their quest to find the golden fleece by a strong cast of female figures, including the Hesperides. So Hercules tricked him by asking him to hold the heavens while he found something to help ease the burden. Atlas fetched three apples from the Hesperides but was reluctant to return to his duty. In one version of the myth, he suggested that Hercules get Atlas to retrieve the apples for him while he held the heavens up. 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. Hercules' eleventh labour was to retrieve the golden apples.

Hera, who resented Hercules, persuaded Eurystheus to set Hercules a series of dangerous and challenging tasks, and so began the Twelve Labours of Hercules. Hercules sought out the Oracle of Delphi, who advised him to travel to his cousin Eurystheus, the king of Tiryns and offer his services to him. After the legendary Greek hero Hercules had gone insane and killed his wife Megara and their children, he had gone searching for redemption. The most famous story involving the golden apples is the one of Hercules ( Herakles) and his twelve labours.
