Description
Mary Raven, photo.
Apples occupy a special place in the set of Greek myths. Hera, the queen of the gods, owned several very valuable apple trees, which she received as a gift from Gaia, the mother of the Earth. The Hesperides, the daughters of the Evening, took care of these apple trees, and the fierce dragon guarded them. Apples from these trees were golden, had a taste of honey and possessed magical powers. They could heal, self-renew (reappear), when they were eaten, and if such an apple were to be thrown at someone or somewhere, it always hit the target and returned back to the one who threw it.
In the myths of northern peoples apples are a symbol of eternal youth. Legends report that the goddess of Idun guarded the magical golden apples that helped the gods stay forever young. But after the god Loki allowed Iduna to move into the kingdom of the giants, the gods began to grow gray and grow old. The gods forced Loki to return Iduna back. Celtic myths also mention the apple as a fruit of the gods and a source of immortality.
