Bevan ThomasIn Greek mythology, the golden fruit of the goddess Hera grows in the Garden of the Hesperides. Though this fruit is usually envisioned as apples, some people have theorized they're actually oranges. Thus, the Greek botanical name for all citrus is "hesperidoeidē."

1. Neu-Kelte 🌻💙💛🌻#WyrdWednesday #LegendaryWednesday #Celtic: `Ailell said to Etain: "Woman, it would be easy for you yourself to put my sickness from me. And my desire," he said, "is a desire that is as long as a year; but it is love given to an echo, the spending of grief on a wave, a lonely fight with a shadow, that is what my love and my desire have been to me."
And it is then Etain knew what was the sickness that was on him, and it was a heavy trouble to her.`
