Pausanias :

The Hesperids (in the Heraion at Olympia), five in number, were made by Theokles, also a Spartan, the son of Hegylos : he too is said to have been a pupil of Dipoinos and Skyllis.

(The treasury of the Epidamnians) contains the heavenly sphere supported by Atlas, and also Herakles and the apple-tree of the Hesperids, with the serpent coiled about it. These too are of cedar-wood, the work of Theokles, the son of Hegylos, who is stated by the inscription on the sphere to have assisted his son in the making.
