In this paper we investigate Hesse’s elliptic curves $H_{\mu }:U^3+V^3+W^3=3\mu UVW,\mu \in \mathbf{Q}-\left\{1\right\}$, and construct their twists, $H_{\mu ,t}$ over quadratic fields, and $\tilde{H}(\mu ,t),\mu ,t\in \mathbf{Q}$ over the Galois closures of cubic fields. We also show that $H_{\mu }$ is a twist of $\tilde{H}(\mu ,t)$ over the related cubic field when the quadratic field is contained in the Galois closure of the cubic field. We utilize a cubic polynomial, $R(t;X):=X^3+tX+t,t\in \mathbf{Q}-\{0,-27/4\}$, to parametrize all of quadratic fields and cubic ones. It should be noted that $\tilde{H}(\mu ,t)$ is a twist of $H_{\mu }$ as algebraic curves because it may not always have any rational points...
