Many years ago, before Zoë Nightshade became the lieutenant of Artemis, she lived in the Garden of the Hesperides. Though she was forbidden to, she helped Hercules on his quest to trick Atlas. She gave him a long white brooch, which was given to her by her mother, Pleione the water goddess. The brooch contained Zoë's immortal power, as well as the power of the ocean. When Hercules held it in his hand, it transformed into the bronze sword that now belongs to Percy. Zoë told Hercules to name it Anaklusmos, Greek for "Riptide". Hercules took Anaklusmos and completed the quest, completely forgetting about Zoë afterwards. It was Zoë who got the worst of it; her sisters found out that she had helped Hercules and she was disowned and banished from the garden, not to return until almost 2000 years later.
