-The Hesperides are the nymphs of evening and golden light of sunsets, who were known in Greek mythology as the "Daughters of the Evening" or "Nymphs of the West". They tended Hera's orchard in a land believed to be in a far western corner of the world; the nymphs and their garden feature prominently in one of the [[wikipedia:Labours of Heracles|Twelve Labours of Heracles]], and are additionally encountered by the [[wikipedia:Argonauts|Argonauts]]. The Hesperides also provide [[Perseus]] with the knapsack this artifact is based on that he would use to safely contain the head of [[Medusa]] after slaying her; the knapsack also serves as the inspiration for the [[Wallet of Perseus]] in [[SLASH'EM]]. Pegasus sprang from Medusa's blood upon her death, and is thus found with the chest containing the artifact in EvilHack.

 ==Description==
-The Bag of the Hesperides augments [[protection]] much like a [[ring of protection]], providing one additional level of [[magic cancellation]] when carried, and repels water just like an [[oilskin sack]]. It has {{frac|2}} improved [[weight]] reduction compared to a normal bag of holding - it effectively reduces the weight of all items inside it by {{frac|3}} when uncursed, compared to {{frac|2}} with a normal bag of holding. When blessed, the weight of its contents is reduced to {{frac|6}}, compared to {{frac|4}} with a bag of holding. However, if the Bag of the Hesperides is cursed, it will ''quadruple'' the weight of its contents, which is twice the effect of a cursed bag of holding.
