History
The semi-godly Hesperides decided they would like to pass on their legacy to further nymphs by consorting with a mortal man their mistress, Hera, found worthy.

Hera searched for a consort for her servitors, and came upon a hellenist named Chrysos, whose patron goddess was Hera. She came upon Chrysos in his dreams, and alluded him into thinking he would get to consummate his love to Hera by consorting with each of the Hesperides, Aegle, Erytheia, Hesperia and Arethusa whenever she would request.

She led him on until each hesperis bore him six children, three males and three females. After Chrysos realized that he was being cheated, he started to lust after Aegle. Aegle, not having any feelings for the man, decided to request the help of the Erotiad matriarch, Sapphire.

She requested that she would spawn an Erotiad in order for her to gain feelings for the man who she sympathized for greatly. Sapphire refused, causing the hesperis to contact the infuriated Hera, who instantly complained to Aphrodite and her council of the Erotes.

After pressure from her patrons, she had to go against what she stood for in order to help Aegle. Aegle gained feelings for the man, bearing him two additional children. Eventually, a few of the newborn deminymphs fell in love with their cousins, causing a new nymph subspecies, the Chrysiads, the second generation Hesperides (who were depowered) to be born.
