I'm afraid I'm not inclined to promote such a plagiarised OP.
The Garden of the Hesperides is Hera's orchard in the west, where either a single tree or a grove of immortality-giving golden (glittering/glowing) apples grew. The Hesperides were given the task of tending to the grove, but occasionally plucked from it themselves. Not trusting them, Hera also placed in the garden a never-sleeping, hundred-headed dragon named Ladon as an additional safeguard.
source
Medusa ("guardian, protectress") was a monster, a Gorgon, generally described as having the face of a hideous human female with living venomous snakes in place of hair.
source
Ladon was the serpent-like dragon that twined and twisted around the tree in the Garden of the Hesperides and guarded the golden apples. He was overcome by Heracles. The following day, Jason and the Argonauts passed by on their chthonic return journey from Colchis and heard the lament of "shining" Aegle, one of the four Hesperides, and viewed the still-twitching Ladon
source
There are other paragraphs lifted word for word from wikipedia without sourcing it, or even indicating they aren't your words. Care to try again?

Spam?
Upon googling parts of your post, i see that it is on wikipedia. This is not your original work, granpa. Explanation?
AbE: I see AdminModulous beat me to it.

I guess I just assumed that any person of normal intelligence could plainly see which parts were lifted from Wikipedia and which parts are mine

Now you have learned that assumption is problematic, will you be editing the OP or should we just close this PNT?
