Hermes Hoodie

Greek God of travellers, roads and thievery, and Messenger of the Gods.

Son of Zeus and Maia and sibling to many of Zeus' other children, Hermes was the herald of the gods and their trusted messenger.

He was the only Olympian god that could travel between worlds, divine and mortal, and living and dead due to his winged sandles, Talaria.

Initially, Hermes was presented as an old, bearded man in Archaic art, however he was later depicted as a young male with an athletic build. This goes hand in hand with the common portrayal of Hermes as a trickster and having been loved and looked after by the other Olympian gods, namely Artemis, Zeus and Demeter.

Hermes has no noted partner, but he has fathered many children, one of note being the nymph, Pan.

Hermes' symbols: winged sandals (Talaria), winged helmet (Petasos), staff entwined with two snakes (Caduceus), the lyre.
