History

The serpentine dragon Ladon was the spawn of the monster Echidna and of Typhon, a Titan.

He was the guardian of the Tree of the Hesperides, which was targeted by Hercules in the course of his 11th labor, retrieve the Golden Apples from the Tree.

Notes

• Ladon is erroneously mentioned as the spawn of Ceto and Phorcys (parents to Echidna), along with the Hesperides nymphs (who have other known parents), in Nagala's profile in Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z #8.
