Ladon

Ladon (lay-don), or the Hesperian Dragon (hes-peer-ee-in drag-in), was a Greek dragon.

Abode and Attributes
In Hesiod, the parents of the Hesperian Dragon were Phorcys and Ceto, who represented dangers of the sea, and the siblings of the Hesperian Dragon also represent dangers of the sea so Ladon may have represented dangerous sea currents.

Mythology
Ladon was a dragon with a hundred heads that guarded the golden apples of the Hesperides. The dragon was killed by Heracles when he was sent to retrieve apples from the Hesperides. After his death, he was placed into the stars as the constellation Draco.
